Country level risk measures of climate-related natural disasters and implications for adaptation to climate change (2003, background): “In the short term, the broad consensus following years of action and research under the UN International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR) is that strengthening local capacity to cope with natural hazards such as flood and drought is an urgent priority, particularly in the poorest region”
Are flood victims more concerned about climate change than other people? The role of direct experience in risk perception and behavioural response (2008, background): “Flooding takes various forms and encompasses a range of experiences (Few 2003).”
Socioeconomic Vulnerability and Adaptation to Environmental Risk: A Case Study of Climate Change and Flooding in Bangladesh (2007, methodology): “Empirical studies focus more and more on variations in both exposure to natural hazards and people’s capacity to cope with these hazards (Few, 2003).”
