Chapter 13 Housing sector considerations in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

Abstract

The increasing climate-induced disaster is one of the main obstacles for sustainable development. Many countries and their housing sectors are already highly vulnerable to weather and climate extremes, as illustrated by tropical cyclones in Myanmar, Viet Nam, and the Philippines, and flooding in India, Bangladesh, and China. Disaster impacts and losses continue to rise globally.
