Customizing Decision-Making Frameworks for Climate Change in Humanitarian Disaster Management
摘要
This chapter focuses on case studies from six regions: Bangladesh, Puerto Rico, Myanmar, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and the Philippines. Findings indicate that traditional disaster management models often overlook long-term climate projections and the unique vulnerabilities of marginalized populations. The analysis of case studies reveals the necessity of shifting toward localized approaches that integrate climate data and foster community engagement, thereby enhancing resilience. Research limitations stem from the reliance on secondary data, which may not fully capture the nuanced challenges faced in specific regional contexts. Additionally, the findings may not be generalizable across all disaster-prone areas due to variations in socioeconomic and political factors. Theoretical contribution includes an understanding of the interrelationship between climate adaptation and disaster management, emphasizing the integration of humanitarian concerns into existing frameworks. This chapter also aligns with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to climate action, sustainable cities, and reduced inequalities, showcasing how enhanced disaster management can contribute to broader sustainable development objectives. Practical impact is evident as the insights derived from this research can guide policymakers, NGOs, and local governments in creating more effective and equitable disaster management strategies. By advocating for proactive measures and collaborative efforts, this chapter highlights the urgency of addressing the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change.
