Climate change, Environmental Degradation, Globalized Economic Development, Poverty and Inequality, Poorly-planned and Managed Urban Development, and Weak Governance
Explanation:
Climate Change can increase disaster risk by altering the frequency and intensity of hazards events, affecting vulnerability to hazards, and changing exposure patterns.
Environmental degradation is both a driver and consequence of disasters, reducing the capacity of the environment to meet social and ecological needs through depletion of resources such as air, water and soil; the destruction of ecosystems; habitat destruction; the extinction of wildlife; and pollution.
Globalized Economic Development resulted in increased polarization between the rich and poor on a global scale.
Poverty is both a driver and consequence of disasters, and the processes that further disaster risk related poverty are permeated with inequality. When disasters strike, poor people often lose their assets on which their survival depends.
A new wave of urbanization is unfolding in hazard-exposed countries and with it, new opportunities for resilient investment emerge. The lack of adequate infrastructure and services, unsafe housing, inadequate and poor health services can turn natural hazard into a disaster.
Weak governance zones are investment environments in which public sector actors are unable or unwilling to assume their roles and responsibilities in protecting rights, providing basic services and public services. Good governance implies that national and local government are effective in keeping people safe, healthy and educated.
