Human activities accelerate climate change, necessitating disaster policy that integrates risk assessment and resilience. Without enhanced capacity-building and governance, vulnerability reduction efforts for climate change risks will be ineffective.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Climate Science
  • Disaster Management

Background:

  • Climate change is a natural phenomenon, but human activities significantly accelerate its pace.
  • Effective disaster policy requires acknowledging climate change, robust institutions, and integrating risk management into development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the prerequisites for effective disaster policy in response to climate change.
  • To highlight the importance of capacity-building, resilience, and governance in reducing climate change vulnerability.

Main Methods:

  • The study is based on a critical review of existing literature and policy frameworks related to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
  • Analysis of factors influencing the successful implementation of climate change policies.

Main Results:

  • Universal readiness to accept climate change and embed risk assessment in development strategies is lacking.
  • Policies neglecting capacity-building and resilience enhancement show limited success in reducing vulnerability.

Conclusions:

  • Reducing climate change vulnerability requires a fundamental shift in approach, focusing on enhancing governance and resilience.
  • Integrating climate change risk management into development strategies is crucial for effective adaptation and mitigation.
