Abstract
Climate change has made extreme weather events happen more often, more severely, and with less warning all around the planet. Heatwaves, floods, cyclones, droughts, and wildfires are all getting worse and are bad for ecosystems, economies, and people's health. This chapter looks at extreme weather events from the points of view of risk, susceptibility, and exposure. It looks at the scientific reasons why climate change is linked to extreme occurrences, the social, economic, and environmental aspects that make people more vulnerable, and the patterns of exposure across different areas and groups of people. The chapter goes on to talk about evaluation frameworks, real-world case studies, adaptation and mitigation techniques, and policy responses that are meant to lessen the effects of disasters. To make societies that can survive climate change and move forward with sustainable development in a climate that is changing quickly, it is important to understand these characteristics.
