The first Risk-KAN Symposium, convened at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg at April 28th 2025, brought together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to chart the future direction of the Knowledge-Action Network on Emergent Risks and Extreme Events (Risk-KAN). Next to serving as the official kick-off of the new working group and leadership structure, the gathering focused on discussing how to advance transdisciplinary risk research and fostering actionable insights to support societal preparedness, resilience, and adaptation to compound and systemic risks in a changing climate.
