Vulnerability of bangladesh to cyclones in a changing climate : potential damages and adaptation cost [PDF]
This paper integrates information on climate change, hydrodynamic models, and geographic overlays to assess the vulnerability of coastal areas in Bangladesh to larger storm surges and sea-level rise by 2050. The approach identifies polders (diked areas),

Fostering Climate Change Education for Effective Locally‐Led and Community‐Led Adaptation
This study highlights the transformative role of climate change education (CCE), understood here as formal, non‐formal and informal learning that equips people with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change for climate mitigation and adaptation in enhancing locally‐led adaptation (LLA)—where local actors shape ...

Tropical Cyclones and Storm Surge Modelling Activities
The Global Disasters Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) automatically invokes ad hoc numerical models to analyse the level of the hazard of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical cyclones, floods and volcanoes. The Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are among the most damaging events, due to strong winds, heavy rains and storm surge.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?
