T32. Citizen Science for risk reduction strategies and sustainable management

Citizen Science is the active involvement of citizens in the collection, analysis and interpretation of data for scientific purposes. Participatory activities are changing the way society can interact with science, actively encouraging the development of new knowledge and promoting the growth of informed and aware societies. In this context, the session aims to collect contributions for a constructive exchange on the topic of collaboration in the field of Geosciences, with a focus on risk reduction strategies and sustainable management.
Citizen science for disaster risk reduction (DRR) could be a successful tool in providing early warning of hazards and contributing to emergency planning. The application of a Citizen Science approach in risk reduction strategies aims to build scientific skills also taking into account citizen responsibility and the most vulnerable at disaster risk.
Moreover, the role of participatory activities could play a significant role in monitoring and implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) bringing to social development and action transformation.
We invite authors to present experiences, approaches and tools for participatory activities, also presenting datasets, portals or open tools for data collection. We are interested in case studies and existing projects of Citizen Science that contribute to achieve risk reduction and the SDGs at local, regional and national level.
