This book examines climate hazards crises in contemporary Asia, identifying how hazards from the Middle East through South and Central Asia and China have the power to reshape our globalised world. By integrating human exposure to climate factors and disaster episodes, the book explores the environmental forces that drive disasters and their social implications. The chapters address several scales, hazard types (drought, flood, temperature, storms, dust), environments (desert, temperate, mountain, coastal) and issues (vulnerability, development, management, politics). It will be of interest to those working in Geography, Development Studies, Environmental Sciences and Political Science.
Troy Sternberg is a researcher at the School of Geography, Oxford University. His research focuses on climate hazard impact on environments and societies across Asian drylands.
