Edward Elgar Publishing Edward Elgar Handbook on Climate Change and Disasters

This comprehensive handbook from Edward Elgar Publishing examines the rise of global natural disasters caused by climate change. It analyzes how human and natural activities affect the vulnerability of people and communities, particularly in developing countries facing floods, landslides, cyclones, heat waves, and wildfires. The text provides a global framework analysis that looks at the implications of the Paris Agreement, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction. With contributions from international experts, this volume addresses the specific roles of various stakeholders in mitigating climate-related risks and managing disaster impacts on a global scale.
