A comprehensive assessment of Sweden’s disaster risk data system has been released.

The report synthesizes desk research, stakeholder consultations with government agencies, research institutions, and private sector actors, along with a thorough review of existing data flows. It aims to identify gaps in current systems and propose improvements for future resilience against natural disasters.

This assessment helps Sweden understand where its disaster risk management stands and what needs fixing.

Long-term vulnerability remains if the identified gaps are not addressed, potentially leading to inadequate responses during severe weather events or other natural disasters.

What is the long-term climate outlook for this region?

The assessment highlights critical areas needing improvement in Sweden’s disaster risk data system. Addressing these gaps can enhance the country's resilience to future climate shocks, but failure could exacerbate risks from extreme weather events.

Improvements are crucial for a positive long-term outlook.
