This paper offers the first cross-regional synthesis of stakeholder perspectives on multi-hazard risk drivers across Europe, providing empirically grounded insights into how hazard interactions, vulnerability dynamics and disaster risk reduction measures evolve over time. By integrating qualitative methods with multi-risk governance analysis, it promotes context-sensitive and actionable disaster risk knowledge. Its findings are highly relevant to the geosciences community working on risk modeling and hazard interactions and are also of great interest for practitioners, policymakers and media focusing on disaster risk governance, climate adaptation, and societal resilience.
