Climatological Hazards

Climatological hazards are natural events caused by climate and weather patterns that can pose risks to people and the environment. These include droughts, heatwaves, and extreme cold. Unlike sudden disasters like earthquakes, climatological hazards develop over time and can lead to significant impacts, such as food shortages, health issues, or damage to ecosystems. They often stem from long-term climate trends and variations, making them complex challenges that require careful monitoring and management to mitigate their effects on communities and livelihoods.
