Provides an understanding of the relationship between
social-ecological systems and multilevel governance so that readers
can properly deal with hydrometeorological extreme events and
hazards Based on field investigations from EU research projects,
this book is the first to devote itself to scientific and
policy-related knowledge concerning climate change-induced extreme
events. It depicts national and international strategies, as well
as tools used to improve multilevel governance for the management
of hydrometeorological risks. It also demonstrates how these
strategies play out over different scales of the decision-making
processes. Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance
Issue offers comprehensive coverage of such events as floods,
droughts, coastal storms, and wind storms. It showcases real-life
success stories of multilevel governance and highlights the
individuals involved and the resources mobilized in the
decision-making processes. The book starts by presenting a
synthesis of hydrometeorological extreme events and their impacts
on society. It then demonstrates how societies are organizing
themselves to face these extreme events, focusing on the strategies
of integration of risk management in governance and public policy.
In addition, it includes the results of several EU-funded projects
such as CLIMB, STARFLOOD, and INTERREG IVB project DROP. The first
book dedicated to hydrometeorological extreme events governance
based on field investigations from EU research projects Offers a
"multi-hazards" approach--mixing policy, governance, and field
investigations' main outputs Features the results of EU-funded
projects addressing hydrometeorological extreme events Part of the
Hydrometeorological Extreme Events series Facing
Hydrometeorological Extreme Events is an ideal book for
upper-graduate students, postgraduates, researchers, scientists,
and policy-makers working in the field.
