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. 517 3 $aManaging the Risks of Extreme Events & Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation 606 $aClimate change mitigation 606 $aClimatic changes$xRisk management 606 $aClimate$2Iptcnc 606 $aClimate change adaptation$2Iptcnc 606 $aClimate resilience$2Iptcnc 606 $aDisaster$2Iptcnc 606 $aDisaster risk reduction$2Iptcnc 606 $aGeneral circulation model$2Iptcnc 606 $aGlobal warming$2Iptcnc 606 $aGovernance$2Iptcnc 606 $aHazard$2Iptcnc 606 $aIntergovernmental panel on climate change$2Iptcnc 615 0$aClimate change mitigation. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xRisk management. 615 7$aClimate 615 7$aClimate change adaptation 615 7$aClimate resilience 615 7$aDisaster 615 7$aDisaster risk reduction 615 7$aGeneral circulation model 615 7$aGlobal warming 615 7$aGovernance 615 7$aHazard 615 7$aIntergovernmental panel on climate change 676 $a551.6 702 $aField$b Christopher B. 712 02$aIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320812703316 996 $aManaging the risks of extreme events and disasters to advance climate change adaption$91984506 997 $aUNISA
