Climate Change, Extreme Events and Disaster Risk Reduction
Climate Change, Extreme Events, and Disaster Risk Reduction is a timely
publication in view of the threats the world is facing today due to climate
change and related extreme events and the well-coordinated counterefforts
against them, such as Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
(SFDRR) 2015–2030.
Global climate change is well-established now, as revealed by such
international organizations as ICSU, IPCC, and WMO. It has led to the
occurrence of many types of extreme events across the world, most important
being hydrological and climatic ones. These extreme events have further
posed varying levels of threats to lives and livelihoods at global, regional,
and local levels. They require multi-level planning linking international
agencies such as United Nations and national and local level bodies for
disaster risk reduction.
