DISASTER RISK REDUCTION: TEACHING ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

Most of the world’s natural disasters occur in Asia and the Pacific. Environmental degradation, which is often a result of economic development and associated human settlement patterns that ignore appropriate resource management, can increase a country’s vulnerability to natural hazards and exacerbate the impacts. The main objective and focus of the book are to create awareness about and understanding of Climate Change, Disaster Risk Management, E-waste, Environmental Ethics, Disasters and Disaster Mitigation Measures. This book is useful for research scholars and students pursuing various and specialized courses on the subject.
