The IDF aims to accelerate the spread of risk understanding as a foundation for the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and economic/market development. This requires easy access to risk tools and models to promote local engagement and the integration of local data and knowledge in the modelling process. The way to achieve this is through use of open-source platforms, open data standards and interoperability.
These standards and best practices are consistent with the IDF Risk Modelling Steering Group’s (RMSG) strategy of growing risk understanding through adoption of open-source risk platforms, principles and practices, a policy endorsed at IDF Steering Committee level.
