PREVENTION OF EMISSIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IN HIGH-RISK FACILITIES BY INCREASING SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE

Summary/Abstract: NaTech (Natural Hazard Triggering Technological Disasters) refers to events where natural disasters—such as floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or landslides—trigger technological failures, leading to the release of hazardous substances, fires, or explosions. These compound events reflect the intersection between natural and technological hazards and represent an increasingly relevant risk in the context of accelerating climate change. Even more severe are the consequences related to NaTech events in SEVESO sites. Slovenia is exposed to multiple types of natural hazards, including floods, landslides, earthquakes, wildfires, and extreme weather events. In particular, the frequency and intensity of floods and landslides are increasing as a result of climate change, elevating the risk of NaTech incidents. Strengthening the climate resilience of industrial and critical infrastructure is therefore essential.
