Abstract: (322 Views)
Background: Climate change often leads to more frequent and intense disasters like floods, storms, and droughts, directly affecting people's health. It is crucial to address disaster risk management (DRM) related to climate change, including government legislation.
Materials and Methods: This study is applied research. The process involves classifying developed countries based on the Human Development Index (HDI). Next, disaster risk management legislations related to climate change in these countries are extracted from the Climate Change Laws of the World (CCLW) database. Finally, the research method is based on the combination of qualitative research (examining, classifying and analyzing related documents based on Ostrom's social-ecological systems framework) and quantitative research (time series analysis and regulation process in the investigated subsystems and systems).
Results: The DRM legislations in developed countries make up 40% of the total legislations in this scope. Analysis of the time trend shows that most of the legislations have been approved in the last 30 years. Additionally, water, transportation, and economy-wide subsystems have been among the first to be considered in regulation. The spatial trend analysis also indicates that Europe and South Korea have adopted the most legislations, respectively.
Discussion: DRM legislations in the early years primarily focused on emergency aid and costs associated with natural disasters. Over time, legislations evolved to encompass broader objectives such as planning and establishing systems, reconstruction funds, and prevention systems as awareness increased.
Conclusion: The continuity of DRM legislation and targets can result in better decision-making and more effective measures to tackle climate change.
