Abstract Over the past few decades, four distinct and largely independent research policy communities—disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, environmental management poverty reduction—have been actively engaged in reducing socio‐economic vulnerability to natural hazards. However, despite significant efforts of these communities, many individuals communities hazards continues increase considerably. In particular, it is hydro‐meteorological that affect an increasing number people...
This article focuses on the complex relationship between development and disaster risk. Development risk are closely linked as people assets exposed to risk, well their vulnerability capacity, largely determined by processes. Transformation is key moving from current patterns that increase, create or unfairly distribute risks, forms of equitable, resilient sustainable. Based a review existing literature, we present three opportunities have potential lead transformation in...
Desertification is a form of land degradation principally in semi-arid and arid areas influenced by climatic human factors. As country plagued extensive sandy desertification frequent sandstorms dust storms, China has been trying to find ways achieve the sustainable management desertified lands. This paper reviewed impact climate change anthropogenic activities on areas, effort, outcome, lessons learned from control China. Although drying warming trends growing population pressures exist...
Exposure and vulnerability are the main contributing factors of growing impact from climate-related disasters globally. Understanding spatiotemporal dynamic patterns is important for designing effective disaster risk mitigation adaptation measures. At national scale, most cross-country studies have suggested that economic to decreases as income increases, especially developing countries. Research covering sub-national natural indispensable obtaining a comprehensive understanding effect...
Development and disaster risk are deeply linked. Disasters reverse development gains; initiatives influence the risk, vulnerability, exposure of people, assets, environments to disasters. Hence, knowledge key dimensions potential trade-offs between reduction (DRR) may inform decision-making processes, goals, in ways that have address unsustainable practices commonplace countries all economic levels. This paper presents, explores, tests a conceptual framework for analysing underpin this...
China is undergoing modernization at a scale and speed the world has never witnessed. As climate change increasingly dominates global agenda, faces challenge of shaping new growth path in climate-constrained world. The paper argues that China's current energy policy is, best, “repackaging” existing environmental strategies with co-benefits for mitigation change. Nevertheless, even though policies are not climate-change driven, quick (rhetorical) endorsement low-carbon development strong...
The water-energy nexus (WEN) is dynamic and complicated in megacities, most of which are challenged by water scarcity the mandate to reduce energy consumption. A salient feature services megacities that they supported a web regional infrastructure, extending far beyond geographic boundaries cities, resulting strong dependence on resources imported from outside. Understanding WEN has implications not only for more efficient resource utilization but also synergistic development corporation....
As countries underwent the initiation, peak, post-peak, and early vaccination stages of COVID-19, changing risk perception, coping behaviors corresponding psychological stress experienced by public over time was rarely reported. We conducted a national scale panel study using social-psychological data collected from 5,983 questionnaires to investigate interactions between anxiety level, perception behavior during different COVID-19 in China. found that sustained perceiving worries being...
With more than 60 percent of China's 1.34 billion population, about 50 its most productive arable land, and the world's second largest rapidly growing national GDP exposed to flooding various kinds, China has an intractable flood problem. Envisioning potential impacts climate change continued intensification floodplain development driven by rapid industrialization urbanization, it is very likely that will see a increase exposure floods this century. This overview article outlines discusses...
In this article, the historical data of water and energy consumption Wuxi City, one main cities in Taihu Lake Basin region Eastern China, was reviewed analyzed to map their dynamic changes rapid urbanization process past 30 years, as ratio changed from 24.7% (1983) 73.7% (2013). Results show that (a) resources have generally been managed separately overall social‐economic development planning city region; (b) increase closely correlates with rate urban growth.

Wastewater treatment and reuse are important means of addressing water scarcity protecting the aquatic environment in urban areas. However, it comes at cost energy consumption greenhouse gas emissions. issues governance provincial-scale research have largely been ignored current wastewater studies. This paper summarizes status 175 plants (WWTPs) Beijing, explores energy-intensive processes, ratios, overall intensity WWTPs, maps structure governance. The results indicate that most WWTPs...
Climatic conditions have important influences on human life and the sustainable development of economies societies. Climate varies in space time. People always lived with climate diversity, two influence each other. The degree mutual differs at different spatial temporal scales. Since industrial revolution, effect has gradually increased, expanded from local to global scale. To allow people live harmony nature prevent disaster risks, International Human Dimensions Program Global...
