Interplay of Disaster Risk, Climate Change, and Uncertainty


Southasiadisasters.net issue no. 177, November 2018

AIDMI's publication of Southasiadisasters.net is titled "Interplay of Disaster Risk, Climate Change, and Uncertainty" and highlights how the uncertainty related with disaster risk and climate change marginalizes at-risk communities by posing a serious threat to their overall development outcomes.

Not only does this uncertainty manifest itself in different ways, it is also perceived by different people differently. For instance, there is a big gap in the way scientists and climate experts and at-risk communities perceive this uncertainty. While experts rely on quantitative models and projections, they are far removed from the lived experiences of at-risk communities who bear a disproportionate burden of the adverse impacts of this climate uncertainty.


This issue's contents includes: (i) Interplay of Disaster Risk, Climate Change, and Uncertainty; (ii) Migration — A Last Resort or An Adaptation Measure: A Case Study from Sri Lanka; (iii) Shifting from Climate Change to Catalyzing Community Change — A View; (iv) Uncertainty and Sundarbans Communities: A View from Bangladesh; (v) Anthropology of Uncertainty Among the 'Tribes' in India: A View; (vi) Communicating Climate Change and Mobilising Action: The Role of Faith Traditions and Human Rights; (vii) Erosion and Displacement — The Uncertainty in Indian Sundarban Delta (ISD); (viii) It is Possible, It is Right, It is the Future: Just Transition to a Green Economy; and (ix) Disaster Preparedness: A Shift in Paradigm.
