A research team at the University of Oxford has created the most detailed global map of rivers. The new system, named Global River Topology (GRIT), captures the true complexity of the world’s waterways.

Built from high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced topographic data, GRIT charts over 19.6 million kilometres of river channels and includes more than 67,000 points where rivers diverge or rejoin. This level of detail is a breakthrough, especially in a warming world where floods and other water-related hazards are becoming more common.

The African region has long faced public health emergencies, along with ongoing humanitarian crises with fragile health systems that overwhelm national capacity and disrupt essential health services, write Dr Abdou Salam Gueye and Charlie Reeves. However, the World Health Organization’s Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) Cluster launched three flagship initiatives that offer a solution: sub-regional stockpiling.

They add: “The cornerstone of these flagship initiatives are subregional hubs which will act as Centres of Excellence, improving preparedness and response effectiveness across the region. A core element of the hubs are two sub-regional warehouses that supply East and Southern and Western and Central Africa, respectively. These pharma-grade warehouses hold dedicated health supplies that can be dispatched to the region’s member states within 72 hours of an emergency being declared.”

Sections of the Iberian Peninsula were hit with a major blackout on April 28, 2025, affecting parts of mainland Portugal and peninsular Spain, including Setúbal, Portugal, writes Nuno Sousa. According to him, the blackout also severely limited mobile communications, making it difficult to relay information to the authorities, and most communication systems were severely disrupted.

Looking at the municipal response, he adds: “Given the highly uncertain nature of the situation, with developments exceeding local capacity, there was a noticeable absence of national leadership and guidance. The municipal response was largely reactive, driven by unfolding events. It highlighted the critical need for timely, clear, and concise communication from the national government to inform the public with appropriate recommendations.”

In today’s complex world, the traditional risk paradigm is undergoing a fundamental shift. A new review by Huan Liu and Ortwin Renn traced the evolution of the concepts of polycrisis and systemic risk, highlighting how existing models of risk assessment are no longer sufficient.

They suggest: “Integrated methods of modelling that can be used to capture the non-linear interactions and feedback loops could help to uncover weaknesses, improve predictive capabilities, and develop more effective risk mitigation strategies. Moreover, in addressing polycrisis, effective risk communication conveys complex and uncertain information in a way that is understandable and credible for different target groups, promoting transparency and strengthening trust.”

In May 2025, nuclear-armed nations India and Pakistan shared airstrikes, turning into a testing ground for alliances, arms, and the art of 21st-century warfare, says Kunwar Khuldune Shahid. According to him, the ceasefire by the United States allowed the country to assert itself in China’s neighbourhood amid the ongoing tariff wars with China while China showcased its military-industrial prowess as Pakistan used its aircrafts. In the Middle East, two regional states were directly involved, namely Israel and Türkiye, and Russia opted for a balanced approach to maintain strategic partnerships in security and energy with both the South Asian rivals.

He continues: “The interconnectivity between Eurasia, the Middle East and South Asia via critical energy and trade routes can be disrupted by any semblance of volatility in the Indian Ocean, as well as global oil and gas supplies. As the US-China, and India-Pakistan rivalries play out in a South Asia witnessing increased Russian, Eurasian, and Middle Eastern involvement, the region remains a nuclear flashpoint.”

Global disaster response analyses reveal a stark truth: we face a critical shortage of qualified crisis communicators, says Philippe Borremans. According to him, effective communication is not about the organisation; it starts and ends with the audience.

He continues: “The most dangerous crisis strategy is to say nothing. This silence typically stems from organisational paralysis, where one waits for complete information, legal approval, or executive sign-off. However, in times of crisis, the pursuit of perfection often impedes progress. Timely, transparent information, even if incomplete, serves better than polished messaging that comes too late.”

New strategic frameworks have been developed to adapt to the new security and geopolitical situation in Europe for proactive security risk management. However, Igor Milic questions: Have we ever asked ourselves who are the people who need to work on the implementation of the strategic objectives and activities and whether they have the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to do so?

He adds: “One of the answers to these questions is vocational education and training as a platform for enhancing knowledge, skills and competencies in performing new tasks. It provides practical skills and knowledge that can be applied in different activities and situations in today’s complex crisis situations.”

Roger Gomm reflects on his experience serving as a superintendent in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Central Operations, Public Order Command (CO11) during the July 2005 London Bombings.

He says: “My experience during the bombings reinforced the necessity of decisive action, clear direction, and effective communication in crisis situations. It also underlined the value of adaptability – responding to evolving circumstances while maintaining strategic oversight. A key lesson for me was the critical and often challenging task of establishing situational awareness: understanding what is happening in real time. However, perhaps the most vital takeaway was the power of teamwork.”

Despite the long peace since World War II, the risk of another global conflict remains plausible, note Pavel Kiparisov and Christian Folberth. Rising tensions among nuclear-armed countries and concerns that miscalculations or accidental escalation could lead to a catastrophe further add to this worrisome conclusion.

They add: “The problem, however, does not constitute only the environmental and climatic effects. A nuclear winter will cause other societal effects, including dramatic food shortages. Moreover, studying the possible repercussions on the food system following a range of conflict-related disruption scenarios, results show that in all scenarios, countries not involved in the conflict suffer most from critical food shortages.”
