The world is currently experiencing changes in climate and
environment that often lead to natural disasters. Nearly three
million people worldwide may have been killed in the past 20 years
by natural disasters. In total, 90% of the natural disasters and
95% of all disaster-related deaths occur in the developing
countries. Recently such problems have accelerated due to LULC
change, biodiversity degradation, increased tourism, urbanization
and climate change. This book, consisting of 27 chapters, explores
the topics of climate, environment and natural disasters in
developing countries. It is essential to discuss these diverse
issues in the field of geography as it encompasses
interdisciplinary topics. The range of issues on national, regional
and local dimensions is not only confined to geography but also
concerned to other disciplines as well. Therefore, this book is a
valuable source for scientists and researchers in allied fields
such as climatology, disaster management, environmental science,
hydrology, agriculture, and land use studies, among other areas.
Furthermore, this book can be of immense help to the planners and
decision-makers engaged in dealing with the problems of climate,
environmental change and natural disasters in developing countries.
