The world is facing increasingly damaging environmental hazards, making it crucial to build resilience to mitigate their impacts. This book explores the scientific advancements made worldwide to enhance this resilience. While resilience is not a new concept, it has gained prominence as governments, organizations, and communities strive to address the growing losses caused by environmental hazards. Alternative ideas and approaches have been helpful in reducing these losses, but resilience offers a fresh and potentially effective means to further reduce them.
Adopting a scientific approach and relying on scientific evidence is essential when applying the resilience idea in hazard mitigation. However, the science of resilience is still in its early stages of development, with ongoing discussions about its concept, understanding, and interpretation. Developing useful theories remains a challenge, although some building blocks of theory have been established. More attention has been directed toward developing indicators and frameworks of resilience, which are then used to measure resilience against hazards such as flooding, earthquakes, and climate change.
Environmental Hazards and Resilience: Theory and Evidence addresses the scientific and theoretical challenges of advancing resilience in environmental hazard mitigation. It presents examples from various countries, including the USA, New Zealand, China, Bangladesh, and others, showcasing successful resilience-building practices. The chapters in this book were originally published in the Environmental Hazards journal.
