The book delves into the complex and pressing issues that the scientific world is tirelessly striving to address. Earthquakes, floods, fires, droughts, blizzards, dust storms, natural releases of toxic gases and liquids, diseases, and other environmental variations impact hundreds of millions of people annually. Many disaster events are triggered by human activities, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive solutions.

To tackle these challenges, a systems-thinking approach and the integration of multidisciplinary science are essential. Political bodies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and scientific groups are increasingly taking action to find sustainable solutions for future generations. Every perspective holds significance in our collective responsibility to protect our global home, Planet Earth.

The book offers valuable insights and research findings through algorithms and innovative methods developed to solve problems in disaster management, natural hazards, risk reduction, and building resilience. It explores the complexities of climate change challenges and their security implications, as well as the impact of air pollution and health. Additionally, it addresses water resources and management, informatics, remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and high-performance computing.

The 2nd International Conference on Environmental Protection and Disaster Risks, in conjunction with the 10th Annual CMDR COE Conference on Crisis Management and Disaster Response, took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, from June 06 to 09, 2022. This conference brought together scientists from around the world to present their cutting-edge findings in the rapidly evolving field of environmental management and disaster risk reduction.

By pooling expertise and knowledge, these conferences aim to foster collaboration, exchange ideas, and drive progress in addressing the critical challenges facing our planet. The insights and solutions presented in this book contribute to the global effort to build a more resilient and sustainable future for all.
