Understanding climate change adaptation and disaster management together
Organizer:

Keywords:

adaptation; disaster management
Short workshop abstract:
Climate change
adaptation and disaster management are strongly related. Climate change will
lead to a higher incidence of extreme weather, for which all areas of
disaster management are relevant, from preparedness to response. It is also
particularly important to consider adaptation and climate risk as a part of
disaster management. This workshop will discuss the state of integration of
adaptation and disaster management, both in relation to each other and in
relation to national to local systems in Sweden and Japan. We invite
overarching presentations on the theme as well as presentation on either of
the two areas or countries that reflect on how to reach a higher integration
between areas and also organisationally in each national case.
