Extreme weather and climate events, interacting with exposed and vulnerable human and natural systems, can lead to disasters. Changes in the frequency and severity of the physical events affect disaster risk, but so do the spatially diverse and temporally dynamic patterns of exposure and vulnerability. Some types of extreme weather and climate events have increased in frequency or magnitude, but populations and assets at risk have also increased, with consequences for disaster risk. Opportunities for managing risks of weather- and climate-related disasters exist or can be developed at any scale, local to international. Prepared following strict IPCC procedures, SREX is an invaluable assessment for anyone interested in climate extremes, environmental disasters and adaptation to climate change, including policymakers, the private sector and academic researchers.Managing the Risks of Extreme Events & Disasters to Advance Climate Change AdaptationClimate change mitigationClimatic changesRisk managementClimateIptcncClimate change adaptationIptcncClimate resilienceIptcncDisasterIptcncDisaster risk reductionIptcncGeneral circulation modelIptcncGlobal warmingIptcncGovernanceIptcncHazardIptcncIntergovernmental panel on climate changeIptcncClimate change mitigation.Climatic changesRisk management.ClimateClimate change adaptationClimate resilienceDisasterDisaster risk reductionGeneral circulation modelGlobal warmingGovernanceHazardIntergovernmental panel on climate change551.6Field Christopher B.Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996320812703316Managing the risks of extreme events and disasters to advance climate change adaption1984506UNISA
