Climate and Natural Hazard Risks is an in-depth examination of the physical, environmental, economic, and social impacts of climate change and natural hazards on vulnerable populations in different areas around the world. The authors open with the simple question “what is risk?,” taking a detailed look at global trends and risk frameworks as they relate to climate change. From there, the chapters systematically review different hazards and their implications for risk and resilience (hurricanes, cyclones, flooding, extreme temperatures, food insecurity, earthquakes, tsunamis). The authors then delve into the latest research and data surrounding probabilistic hazard assessment and multi-hazard risk assessment. The book closes with a thoughtful discussion on resilience and the wide-reaching impacts of environmental transitions. Professionals working across climate change, environmental risk assessment, and disaster resilience will find much to consider in this thought-provoking text.
