Is Education a Key to Reducing Vulnerability to Natural Disasters and hence Unavoidable Climate Change?
The collection of articles in this Special Feature is part of a larger project on “Forecasting Societies’ Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change” (an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council to Wolfgang Lutz). In investigating how global change will affect population vulnerability to climate variability and extremes, the project aims to help develop strategies that enable societies to bette...
متن کاملAccepted Article Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review Running Head: Climate Variability and Vulnerability Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review
The focus of the great majority of climate change impact studies is on changes in mean climate. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability. By concentrating on changes in climate means, the full impacts of climate change on biological and human systems are probably being seriously underestimated. Here we briefly review the possible impact...

متن کاملDisasters and climate change
Action on disaster risk reduction can support sustainable development under climate change. 2.1 Increasing weather related losses According to data collected by Munich Re, global costs (inflation adjusted, 2006 dollars) of weather-related disasters have increased from an annual average US$8.9 billion (1977-1986) to US$45.1 billion (1997-2006). Munich Re’s data comes from their NatCatSERVICE dat...
متن کاملTowards a Formal Framework of Vulnerability to Climate Change
There is confusion regarding the notion of “vulnerability” in the climate change scientific community. Recent research has identified a need for formalisation, which would support accurate communication and the elimination of misunderstandings that result from ambiguous interpretations. Moreover, a formal framework of vulnerability is a prerequisite for computational approaches to its assessmen...
