Abstract Does climate change influence if societies will be better or worse equipped to reduce climatic risks in the future? A society’s adaptive capacity determines whether potential of adaptation realized. Assumptions about level are inherently made when for future and resultant levels risk estimated. In this review, we look at literature on human impacts through lens capacity. Building evidence financial resources as presented Working Group 2 (WG2) report Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), here present methodology behind review complement it with an analysis resources. Based our argue that itself adds constraints limits. We show more realistic assessments sectoral risks, assumed should — can usefully constrained rely expert judgment, propose avenues doing so.

Despite the rising global flood risk, impacts of flooding remain systematically underestimated, leading to significant consequences for particularly vulnerable river deltas. Most studies focus either on single hazards or social vulnerability while overlooking interconnected dynamics deltaic social-ecological systems. In response first priority Sendai Framework, which calls an understanding disaster risk in all its dimensions, we apply Global Delta Risk Index Ayeyarwady Myanmar. We combine 55 indicators social- and ecosystem with 100-year, 500-year, 1,000-year scenarios pluvial, fluvial, coastal exposure at sub-delta scale. Using townships as units analysis allows bridging gap between local case studies, providing insights that are meaningful risk-informed development delta a whole system. also examine distinctive characteristics define systems prone flooding.

Studying natural hazards in the context of human-induced landscape transformation is complex, especially regions with limited information. The narratives elderly can play a role filling these knowledge gaps at multi-decadal timescale. Here, we build upon citizen-based approach to understanding hazard patterns and tropical mountainous environment, Kigezi Highlands (SW Uganda). We engaged 98 citizens (>70 years old) living eight small watersheds different characteristics. Through interviews focus group discussions, reconstructed historical timelines used participatory mapping facilitate interview process. cross-checked information aerial photographs, archives, field visits. Our results show that major land use/cover changes are associated high population increase over last 80 years. also evidence an reported events such as landslides flash floods from 1940s until 1980s. Then, notice stabilization number per decade, although two most impacted decades (1980s 2000s) stand out. Despite this new information, frequency due change cannot yet be quantitatively validated, when probable modulator effect climate variability considered. Nevertheless, exposure vulnerable clear, growth together poor management practices key culprits explain evolution. This study demonstrates added value terms environmental changes. insight essential for governments non-governmental organizations development policies measures disaster risk reduction grounded path dependence local realities.

This article summarizes the work performed by authors in developing, during last 2 years, several portable and wireless sensor systems that allowed analysis of signals collected from multiple sensors based on Internet Things (IoT) emergency contexts. These include fires earthquakes, situations which citizens suffer poor health; participation individuals highly physical sports; or cases materials used buildings other structures being subjected to high stress due natural catastrophes than aforementioned earthquakes. Novel material like MXene paper wallpaper-based ones as fire detectors operating remotely via Wi-Fi LoRa are presented. Furthermore, a communication system, physically connected commercial micro-controller, monitored temperature luminosity data. Other devices, such IoT under protocol 868-MHz 2.4-GHz band region using RFM95 radio modules possible risk advisers, described. For latter, integrated were triboelectric energy nanogenerators (TENGs). In addition, TENG smart masks with emitters played an important role mitigation.

Abstract. In light of the increased frequency multi-hazards, dynamics vulnerability across time, space, and different hazards emerges as an intriguing but challenging research topic. Within multi-hazard contexts, both impacts mitigation strategies can augment vulnerabilities, adding layers to complexity multi-risk assessments. Delving into these interactions, this study aims analyse new connections in rising that result from adaptation options, well their implications, putting co-occurrent powerful river flood events COVID-19 pandemic Romania under magnifying glass, taking 2020 2021 references. The proposed framework relies on impact chain was enhanced include elements (i.e. augmented vulnerabilities derived impacts) links describe augmentation vulnerability), which were also used rank based augmentation. draws various data information sources, including scientific literature, feedback first responders, reports, legislative documents, official press releases, news reports. This work makes a significant contribution field disaster risk reduction (DRR) by broadening purpose chain, transforming it first-hand, semi-qualitative tool for analysing dynamics.
