Climatological Disasters
Climatological Disasters
Disasters overwhelm communities, exceeding their capacity to cope. Natural, man-made, and technical risks, along with exposure and vulnerability factors, contribute to disasters. Climate risks—cyclones, droughts, temperature extremes—are disaster catalysts. Climate change elevates vulnerabilities through ecosystem decline, affecting water, food, and livelihoods. Rising temperatures and erratic rainfall intensify environmental stress and urbanization, eroding communities' resilience. Climate change amplifies disaster risks, magnifying susceptibility due to ecosystem degradation, water and food scarcity, and livelihood changes. It compounds existing stresses, impairing communities' ability to manage weather threats, amid environmental decline and urban sprawl.
