This report, published by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network in 2012, synthesizes findings from the IPCC's Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) with a specific focus on Asia. It examines the interplay between climate extremes, human vulnerability, and exposure, providing policy recommendations for Asian decision-makers to integrate disaster risk management (DRM) with climate change adaptation and sustainable development.

  • Disaster risk in Asia is increasing not only due to climate change but also because more vulnerable populations and facilities are exposed to extreme weather. The report notes that between 1980 and 2010, Asia experienced 4,950 climate disasters, the highest of any continent, and accounted for 51% of global natural disaster deaths (1.16 million people).
