Climate vulnerability monitor 2011: a guide to the cold calculus of a hot planet

The Climate Vulnerability Monitor 2011 states that comprehensive risk reduction efforts in implementating the Hyogo Framework for Action are helping to reduce vulnerability to climate change, even as world population and exposed infrastructure expand. It also considers a fundamental determinant of the success of national disaster prevention and recovery strategies and the capacity of governments to develop and implement a range of risk-reduction measures, including the ability to incorporate considerations of disaster risk into wide-ranging state agendas from education to municipal planning and fiscal tools.
