Until recently, disaster scientists were little involved in climate change debates. In the absence of disaster management debate, scientific assessments of climate change have primarily involved scientists and environmental and energy experts asking key questions, including whether or not climate change is systematic or accidental. And what role can be attributed to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions? Which models can tell us about future developments? And how much emissions reduction is needed to mitigate the risks of climate change? Furthermore, these scenarios are generally taken in the context of 50-100 year time scales and for large areas such as “Europe” or “North America”. These projections of significant changes globally are difficult to understand and are not easy for people to translate into real life (1). More importantly, it has become increasingly clear that climate change will not express itself primarily through slow changes in conditions over a long period of time, but rather in more imminent climate-related disasters. The need to act has become more necessary than ever as the growing human population places more and more people and their property in the path of these disasters, increasing the economic risk of such events (2). Maarten van Aalst (3) discusses the growing evidence that there are more imminent events such as floods, droughts and heatwaves for which society must prepare quickly. Already in the last ten years, climate-related natural risks have been the cause of 90% of natural disasters and 60% of related deaths and have been responsible for 98% of the impacts on populations affected by disasters, the majority in countries development ( 4).
