Description

Climate change is increasingly of great concern to the world community.

The earth has witnessed the buildup of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, changes in biodiversity, and more occurrences of natural disasters.

Recently, scientists have begun to shift their emphasis away from curbing carbon dioxide emission to adapting to carbon dioxide emission.

The increase in natural disasters around the world is unprecedented in earth's history and these disasters are often associated to climate changes.

Many nations along the coastal lines are threatened by massive floods and tsunamis.

Earthquakes are increasing in intensity and erosion and droughts are problems in many parts of the developing countries.

This book is therefore to investigate ways to prepare and effectively manage these disasters and possibly reduce their impacts.

The focus is on mitigation strategies and policies that will help to reduce the impacts of natural disasters.

The book takes an in-depth look at climate change and its association to socio-economic development and cultures especially in vulnerable communities; and investigates how communities can develop resilience to disasters.

A balanced and a multiple perspective approach to manage the risks associated with natural disasters is offered by engaging authors from the entire globe to proffer solutions.
