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 necessity 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 industrialized 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 unrealismed potential for promoting better understanding of the connections between climate variation, climate change and disaster risk management worldwide Analysis Economics Climatic changes Environmental management Environmental economics Climate Change Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed October 24, 2013) In Springer eBooks Subject Climatic changes -- Risk management -- Congresses Natural disasters -- Risk assessment -- Congresses Climate change mitigation -- Congresses Climatic changes -- Economic aspects -- Congresses Emergency management -- Congresses TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING -- Environmental -- Pollution Control.
