The world is undergoing significant transformations in climate and environment, resulting in frequent natural disasters that have claimed the lives of nearly three million people worldwide in the past two decades. Alarmingly, 90% of natural disasters and 95% of all disaster-related deaths occur in developing countries. These pressing issues have accelerated due to factors such as land use change (LULC), biodiversity degradation, increased tourism, urbanization, and climate change. Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of these challenges, this book, comprising 27 chapters, delves into the topics of climate, environment, and natural disasters in developing countries. It is crucial to address these diverse issues within the field of geography, as they encompass a wide range of interdisciplinary topics. The scope of these issues extends beyond geography to other disciplines, making this book a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and professionals in climatology, disaster management, environmental science, hydrology, agriculture, and land use studies, among other fields. Furthermore, this book offers invaluable insights to planners and decision-makers working to address the complex problems of climate, environmental change, and natural disasters in developing countries.
