Despite advances in disaster risk management (DRM) in recent decades, in scientific, policy, and practical approaches, there are still limitations and impasses related to the scope and recurrence of extreme events in a context of increasing vulnerabilities. A scenario characterized as multi-risk emerges: with geological, hydrological, climatic, sanitary, environmental, economic, and social risks. The urgency of implementing strategies for climate change adaptation and addressing multi-risks requires coordinated policies and management to build a culture of prevention and safety. This challenge mobilizes the "Enhancement of local management of environmental-urban risks for multi-risk scenarios in the face of climate emergency: innovative instruments and social participation" project (Multi-Risk Project) to review concepts, methodologies, and practices, considering that risk is socially constructed, disasters are not natural, and acknowledging the shortcomings in DRM and its applications in public policies. In light of this, this article discusses the issue of multi-risk scenarios in the face of climate change and presents the ongoing and participatory initiative of the Multi-Risk Project, aiming to reflect on methodological challenges and effective collaboration with other spheres to co-create knowledge and information that enable proactive decision-making.
