Climate and Natural Disaster Risk Management for Human-Natural Systems
Climate and Natural Disaster Risk Management for Human-Natural Systems
Session ID#: 159606
Session Description:
Climate change poses a global and multi-faceted challenge, threatening the well-being of people, agriculture, water resources, energy, infrastructure and ecosystems. Understanding the risks posed by climate impacts, including the increased frequency and severity of natural disasters and the exacerbated impacts of these events on society, requires an integrated Earth system and human dimension approach that includes insights from both the natural and social sciences. This session solicits interdisciplinary climate and natural disaster research, case studies, and implementations of adaptation and risk management approaches that bridge the human-natural systems divide. Topics can include but are not limited to integration of social science and Earth observations, forecast-based financing, impact-based efforts, and building science-based approaches towards risk management and actions to increase resilience from climate change and natural disaster events.
