The objective of this paper to is to use time-series analysis to examine the association between counts of deaths and ambient PM2.5 concentration accounting for confounders including meteorology and long-term and seasonal trends in mortality. Multiple models including Poisson generalized linear models, Bayesian Poisson models, and Bayesian negative binomial models were used to examine the health effects associated with PM2.5 concentrations. We found positive associations between mortality and ambient PM2.5 concentrations but none of the estimates from the three models are statistically significant. We also found that the negative binomial model fits the data better compared to a Poisson regression model, suggesting the importance of accounting for over-dispersion in mortality count data.

European Centre on Geomorphological Hazards (CERG), France The project was carried out in collaboration with other project centres; GHHD (Georgia), ECILS (North Macedonia), ECNTRM, (Russian Federation) and CRSTRA(Algeria). It focused on the building and testing of low cost sensors for monitoring critical infrastructure, landslides and large engineering projects. The methods, such as satellite imaging techniques, can be used before a landslide to measure movement as the ground shifts or breaks away, whereas sensors on the ground need to be placed where the landslide is likely to occur. Subsequently, the precursors to the crisis are visible and measurable prior to and also during the occurrence. CERG also aims to transfer the methods/software to the project partners for testing and to gather feedback. In 2021 CERG will prepare tailored guidelines in several languages and organise an intensive course on “Low cost sensors and detection methods for geohazards and infrastructure projects”.

Xxxxxxxxx shared results of the project on transboundary cooperation in landscape fire management running from 2017 to 2020 with countries such as Chile, Greece, Ukraine, Belarus, Switzerland, North Macedonia, as well as international organisations, e.g. the OSCE. The main objectives were to enhance national, international and interagency cross-boundary dialogue and cooperation in fire management. Furthermore, the project aimed to improve governance of wildfire DRR. Other achievements included the creation of two working groups in the Ukrainian Parliament under the auspices of the Ministry for Environment to develop a strategy for landscape fire management in Ukraine. The government of Ukraine appointed the head of GFMC as co-chair of the Working Group for the development of a Draft State Strategy of a National System of Landscape Fire Management. The GFMC collaborated with the Secretariat to mark the International Day for Disaster Reduction on 13 October.
