Pulte Director Presents at National Academies Event on Housing and Disasters

Traditional frameworks that treat disasters as isolated events are now outdated in the face of back-to-back catastrophes, where regions barely have time to recover before the next blow. These "compounding disasters" create new challenges, with infrastructure and communities struggling to withstand the cumulative effects. This evolving reality calls for bold, innovative thinking and transformative leadership.

Environmental governance mitigates human displacement caused by weather-related disasters, study shows
Weather-related disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and droughts displace about three times as many people as conflicts and violence do worldwide. From 2008 to 2018, around 263 million people were forced by extreme weather events to move within their own countries’ borders, a number that is expected to rise as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of weather-related disasters. A new study by University of Notre Dame researcher Sisi Meng shows that environmental governance — policies, rules and norms that govern human behavior and scientific information needed for decision-making — can mitigate this displacement.
