Adaptation to Climate Change by Reducing Disaster Risks: Country Practices and Lessons

United Nations - Personal Name;

An overview of the scientific and policy foundations for climate change and disaster risk was set out in the previous Briefing Note 1 “Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction “1. Briefly, the scientific evidence2 shows that for disasters, climate change poses a double threat. Firstly, increases are expected in the frequency and intensity of weather and climatic hazards, such as floods, tropical cyclones, heatwaves and droughts (and in some places are already occurring). Secondly, there are likely to be other changes such as ecosystem degradation, reduced availability of water and food, and impacts on livelihoods, which together will reduce the capacities of communities to cope with natural hazards, especially in poor developing countries
