Conceptualising multiple hazards and cascading effects on critical infrastructures
Despite increased research on 'multiple hazards' and 'cascading effects', ambiguity remains concerning terminology. This paper reviews the literature to explore how these two concepts are defined in relation to critical infrastructures and their vital societal functions. Next, it investigates how the concepts are operationalised in Swedish disaster risk management. Findings indicate that regardless of a wealth of methodologies assessing multiple …
Understanding variation in national climate change adaptation: Securitization in focus
Climate change is recognized today not just as a pressing and prominent issue on government agendas but also one that has been increasingly ‘securitized’ in a variety of national and global settings. We know little, however, if climate change adaptation, as a subset of climate action, has followed a similarly securitized path. This article addresses that question, exploring not only if climate change adaptation has been securitized but also what …
Women’s vulnerability to climate-related risks to household water security in Centre-East, Burkina Faso
Variable climate conditions, resulting in periods of water scarcity and longer dry spells, or intense rainfall events, have serious implications for water and sanitation services. Climate change threatens to exacerbate these hazards, increasing risks to household water security, and associated impacts on health, wellbeing and livelihoods. These risks are not evenly distributed across individuals and communities, and there is a particular need to …
Vulnerability and vulnerable groups from an intersectionality perspective
In general, the identification and protection of vulnerable groups in the case of hazards or when a crisis unfolds is an issue that any crisis and disaster risk management should address, since people have different levels of exposure to hazards and crises. In this article, we promote the application of the intersectionality perspective in the study of vulnerable groups, and we call for intersectionality as a guiding principle in risk and crisis …
Gendered Experiences of Adaptation to Drought: Patterns of Change in El Sauce, Nicaragua
The changes men and women in a rural community in Nicaragua say they have implemented over the past decades differ in ways that relate to their vulnerability to drought. Short-term coping was more common among the women, especially the female heads of households, while adaptive actions were more common among the men. The Community Capitals Framework offers a tool to understand the differences. A gendered culture meant that the division of other t…
Interactions in hazard management policies: The case of drought in Nicaragua, 1976-2010
The literature on adaptive and multi-level governance calls for interactive hazard management to increase societies' resilience. This paper maps the hazard management policies in a poor and hazard-prone country-Nicaragua-and examines what role the government gives to interactions among different actors at different societal levels. A new analytical framework is developed that includes scope and direction to capture unidirectional or mutual intera…
Division of Capitals—What Role Does It Play for Gender-Differentiated Vulnerability to Drought in Nicaragua
This article explores the gender differentiation of vulnerability to the drought situation within a rural community in the dry zone of Nicaragua. Case study work demonstrates that women and men use different strategies to cope with drought in the short term, and to adapt to the recurring El Niño induced events in the longer term. These strategies combined constitute the livelihoods of the rural poor in the dry zone of Nicaragua—livelihoods that c…

Tourism and the Environment in the Caribbean: An Economic Framework
While tourism is one of the most \n important economic activities in the Caribbean, its reliance \n is based uniquely on the natural environment, indicating the \n resource base upon which all of this economic activity is \n based, is however fragile. Thus, sustainable tourism, and \n its economic benefits require ensuring that the \n environmental resources the sector relies on, are managed \n responsibly by the countries of the Caribbean, the \…
