Sub-national government efforts to activate and motivate local climate change adaptation
Climate Adaptation/Mitigation
The climate is changing due to humans' actions and humans need to respond through mitigation – emission reductions – to reduce the rate of change and through adaptation to reduce the impacts and gain the benefits. The Climate Convention, with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Sustainable Development Goals, provides an international framework for both mitigation and adaptation, but countries need to develop and implement nat…

Urban flooding in Lagos, Nigeria
Summary for Policymakers
This Summary for Policymakers presents key findings from the Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX). The SREX approaches the topic by assessing the scientific literature on issues that range from the relationship between climate change and extreme weather and climate events ("climate extremes") to the implications of these events for society and sustainable development. The…

Integrating disaster risk reduction towards sustainable development
Coping with Global Environmental Change
Climate hazards and disasters
Climate and climate‐related hazards such as floods, storms, and droughts have served as trigger events for more than 75% of the disasters that have occurred globally over the past decade. Proportionately, these disasters affect the least developed countries most intensely, proving to be especially harmful to poverty stricken populations. In the future, a changing climate is likely to exacerbate these effects and could make development unsustainab…
Climate change, related hazards and human settlements
Role of Prediction in Sustainable Development and Disaster Management
Canadian Disaster Management Policy
In light of rising disaster losses in recent years and predictions of a more hazardous natural environment in the future, many countries around the world are revising their policies for disaster management to incorporate a stronger emphasis on disaster mitigation and risk reduction. In this paper, we argue that Canada has not sufficientl y integrated mitigation into disaster management and we discuss several barriers that impede progress in this …
