Answer 2

The correct solution is Risk drivers or Risk factors.

• Compound events are exemplified by natural disasters. The junction of numerous separate components, such as hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, is where disaster risk exists.
• There are majorly six underlying risk factors that amplify the effects of hazards. They are  Climate Change,  Environmental Degradation, Globalized Economic Development, Poverty and Inequality, Poorly-planned and Managed Urban Development and Weak Governance.
• Climate change has the potential to enhance catastrophe risk in a number of ways, including modifying the frequency and intensity of hazards events, affecting vulnerability to hazards, and changing exposure patterns
• Environmental degradation is both a cause and a result of disasters, diminishing the environment's ability to meet societal and ecological needs.
• Increased polarization between the rich and the poor on a worldwide scale as a result of globalised economic development.
• Poverty is both a cause and a result of catastrophes, and the processes that exacerbate disaster-related poverty are inherently unequal.
• In hazard-prone countries, a new wave of urbanisation is sweeping the country, bringing with it new potential for resilient investment.
• Weak governance zones are investment settings where public sector players are unable or unwilling to fulfil their roles and obligations in safeguarding rights, delivering basic amenities, and providing public services.
