Abstract
The harsh impacts of climate change and its related hazards are increasingly being felt across the world. A large consensus has emerged among natural scientists about the nature and the impact of climate change. It is recognized that climate change is largely anthropogenic and that, in turn, a continuous worsening of environmental conditions has strong impacts on populations’ and individuals’ well-being (Lutz, 2010).
