Climate-related hazards, more specifically droughts, floods and storms, cause the largest share of people affected by disasters major economic losses. While social disaster-related losses are monitored documented, this is not well established for environmental It known that degradation a key driver disaster risk. As such, healthy ecosystems acknowledged to contribute risk reduction (DRR) through their ecosystem services (ES). Yet they at same time heavily disasters. Disaster-related as...
Ecosystems provide essential services that form the basis of human well-being. Climate change-induced losses and damages to ecosystem (l&d-ES) thus have significant impacts on societies. Yet, little work (l&d) has focused services. Also in international climate negotiations, where debate emerged with establishment Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM), there remains space for better understanding addressing l&d-ES. Part explanation this lies challenge assessing such l&d. To address gap, paper...
The convergence of multiple societal and ecological challenges threatens to push us into an uncertain, risky future. Our critical life-supporting systems, such as the human climate niche, hydrological cycles, natural ecosystems, food production, knowledge risk management tools, are all fundamentally challenged. While these systems have been continually reshaped throughout history, speed change simultaneous changes occurring today unprecedented. research shows how we teetering on precipice...
