Reducing Impact of Disaster and Climate Change
Answers
Answer:
Climate change and disaster risk
reduction are closely linked. More
extreme weather events in future
are likely to increase the number
and scale of disasters, while at the
same time, the existing methods
and tools of disaster risk reduction
provide powerful capacities for
adaptation to climate change. This
Briefing Note, prepared by the
secretariat of the United Nations
International Strategy for Disaster
Reduction Secretariat (UNISDR),
outlines the nature and significance
of climate change for disaster risk,
as well as the main perspectives
and approaches of disaster risk
reduction and how they can
support adaptation strategies. It is
aimed at experts and practitioners
as well as non-specialists such as
teachers and students, journalists
and the interested public.
