| description |
The following paper serves as a sectoral
background note for the regional report ‘managing
Uncertainty: Adapting to Climate Change in Europe and
Central Asia Countries’. It focuses on what is known about
the implications of climate change for extreme weather and
the ability of Europe and Central Asia (ECA) to mitigate and
manage the impact of extreme events. It also explains how
climate change will increase weather-induced disasters in
ECA, highlighting the sensitivity of ECA’s population to
these hazards, and recommending various measures in the area
of financial and fiscal policy, disaster risk mitigation,
and emergency preparedness and management, to reduce current
and future vulnerabilities. The goals of this paper are to:
(i) present forecasts on how climate change will affect
weather-related hazards and secondary effects, and what
impact the extreme hydro-meteorological phenomena will have
on the countries of Europe and Central Asia; and (ii)
provide an overview of measures to mitigate and manage these risks. |
