Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management

There has been some degree of reluctance in the past to consider disaster risk management within the mainstream of adaptation to climate variability and climate change. However, there is now wide recognition of the need to incorporate disaster risk management concerns in dealing with such phenomena....

520 # # |a There has been some degree of reluctance in the past to consider disaster risk management within the mainstream of adaptation to climate variability and climate change. However, there is now wide recognition of the need to incorporate disaster risk management concerns in dealing with such phenomena. There is also a growing awareness of the neccessity for a multi-sectoral approach in managing the effects of climate variability and climate change, since this can lead to a significant reduction of risk. This book presents the latest findings from scientific research on climate variation, climate change�and their links�with disaster�risk management.�It showcases�projects and other initiatives in this field that are being undertaken in both industrialised and developing�countries, by universities and scientific institutions, government�bodies, national and international�agencies,�NGOs and other stakeholders.�Finally, it�discusses�current and future challenges, identifying�opportunities and highlighting�the still unrealised�potential�for promoting�better understanding�of the connections between�climate variation, climate change�and disaster risk management�worldwide.�
