Abstract. Moving towards a more holistic approach to disaster risk management, in which a multi-(hazard-)risk approach is central, offers many opportunities to increase society’s resilience. In 2022, we presented a research agenda of six points that could contribute towards this paradigm shift. In this paper we synthesise key learnings from the MYRIAD-EU project - which ran from September 2021 to December 2025 - reflecting on progress and challenges faced in pursuing this research agenda, and share perspectives that may help to further improve multi-(hazard-)risk assessment and management. Going forward, we point to several avenues for continued scientific research: continue the mainstreaming and mutual understanding of concepts and definitions; continue developing a strong evidence base of how multi-(hazard-)risk both shapes, and is shaped by, risk dynamics over space and time; further developing methods for providing both current and future multi-(hazard-)risk scenarios; increasing the availability of appropriate, solutions-oriented, usable tools; more explicitly including equity issues and equitable disaster risk reduction and adaptation; continue extensively testing and coproducing multi-(hazard-)risk knowledge in in-depth case studies; supporting the development of Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems; and strengthening opportunities for Early Career Researcher leadership and empowerment within project structures. We suggest concrete ways to advance on these topics in future years and decades.
