The document discusses disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). It defines DRR as reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts like reducing hazards, vulnerability, and improving preparedness. CCA is adjusting human and natural systems to actual or expected climate impacts. The document outlines key aspects of DRR like mitigation, early warning, and recovery. It also discusses how climate change will impact sectors like water, food, health, and discusses integrating DRR and CCA.
The document discusses mainstreaming disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation (CCA), and the private sector. It provides overviews of key topics including:
1. DRR mechanisms like avoiding hazards, mitigating risks, responding to damage, and transferring risks.
2. Major projections of climate change impacts by 2100 like increased global temperatures, sea level rise, more extreme weather events.
3. How climate change will affect key sectors like water, food, health, and industry by causing issues like drought, flooding, disease outbreaks.
4. The importance of integrating DRR and CCA given their convergence on issues like coastal zone management and their potential for mutually reinforcing resilience-

The document summarizes flood risk reduction measures taken in the Netherlands. It discusses how the Dutch have implemented structural measures like dams, dikes, and land reclamation projects to protect much of the country that sits below sea level. It also discusses non-structural measures like land-use planning, preparedness, and early warning systems. Proper land-use planning that takes into account flood risks can help reduce disaster risks by limiting development in vulnerable areas. The level of adaptation required depends on where people live - countries like the Netherlands with large populations in flood-prone areas require extensive protection systems.
Climate change implications for investors and financial institutionsDr Lendy Spires
The document summarizes key findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report regarding the implications of climate change for investors and financial institutions. It finds that climate change poses both risks and opportunities for financial sectors. Risks include physical impacts of climate change damaging assets, and impacts of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions decreasing the value of some carbon-intensive assets. However, efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change will also provide investment opportunities in areas like renewable energy and climate-resilient infrastructure. The decisions financial institutions make regarding capital allocation will significantly influence society's response to climate change over the coming decades.
The Global Climate Risk Index 2019 analyzed impacts from weather-related disasters between 1998 and 2017. Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, and Dominica were the most affected countries in 2017. Puerto Rico and Dominica suffered severe damage from Hurricane Maria in 2017. Between 1998 and 2017, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and Myanmar were the most affected countries. Over this period, more than 526,000 people died and losses totaled approximately $3.47 trillion as a result of over 11,500 extreme weather events. Developing countries typically face greater impacts than industrialized countries. Effective climate change mitigation is in all countries' self-interest to limit further impacts.
The document discusses different types of disasters including natural disasters like floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and tornadoes. It also discusses man-made disasters like nuclear leaks, chemical gas leaks, and industrial accidents. Specific examples of past disasters are provided, such as the 2011 Japan tsunami, the 2015 Nepal earthquake, and the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy in India. The different phases of disaster management are defined, including preparedness, response, recovery, mitigation, and prevention. India is identified as one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world due to factors like its vulnerability to earthquakes, droughts, floods, and cyclones.

Disaster and Poverty: The Differential Impacts of Disaster on the Poor in the...Abu M. Sufiyan, PhD
This dissertation examines the differential impacts of natural disasters on poor communities in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. The study aims to determine if disasters exacerbate poverty and if higher poverty levels result in greater losses from disasters. Key findings include:
1) Disasters are found to increase measures of poverty such as incomes below the poverty line and income inequality. Higher disaster fatalities and losses are linked to decreased economic status.
2) Poverty is also found to result in higher social vulnerability and losses from disasters, as counties with higher poverty conditions experienced greater impacts.

CEB 2014 - How the UN system supports ambitious Action on Climate Change enDr Lendy Spires
The document discusses how the United Nations system supports ambitious climate action through a wide range of projects and programs across sectors and countries. It provides examples of UN efforts to reduce emissions and build resilience in key areas like energy, transport, forests, cities and more. The UN agencies work together and with partners to leverage financial mechanisms under the UNFCCC and support national climate strategies through expertise and on-the-ground presence around the world.
The document discusses disasters, including definitions, types, causes, impacts and management. It provides details on several key points:
1) A disaster is defined as an event that causes damage or loss of life on a scale beyond normal capacity to cope. Disasters can be natural or man-made.
2) The impacts of disasters include direct effects like deaths and injuries, as well as indirect effects on infrastructure, the economy and society.
3) Disaster management aims to reduce risks through prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities over the disaster cycle.
4) Major disasters that have impacted India are described, such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones and industrial accidents
This report documents the widespread human impacts of climate change occurring today. It finds that climate change causes over 300,000 deaths, affects 325 million people, and causes $125 billion in economic losses annually on average. Four billion people are vulnerable and 500 million face extreme risk. The impacts studied include effects on food, health, poverty, water resources, human displacement, and security. The worst affected are the world's poorest, who contribute least to causing climate change. Climate change threatens to undermine progress on sustainable development and humanitarian goals. More severe impacts are expected in coming decades even if further warming is contained.
Disaster management Presentation (PPT) by Faisal Faisal Ayub
HI friends..I am Faisal.....this is my PPT of disaster management...some topics like earthquake,flood,drought,human made disaster etc..have been covered and their precaution...feel free to use this....hope u like it..........comment rating out of 10.....thnx
This document discusses several natural disasters that have impacted India such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and fires. It defines a disaster as an event that causes widespread damage and loss of life, exceeding local coping abilities. Disaster management is important for preventing loss of life and property damage. India is highly vulnerable to natural disasters due to its geography and climate. Effective disaster management requires assessing risk, reducing vulnerability and building capacity for preparedness, response and recovery.
This document discusses disasters and calamity, providing examples of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, volcanoes and more. It then discusses some of the worst disasters in Philippine history, including deadly ferry accidents, fires, and storms. The bulk of the document covers disaster management, outlining its goals and cycle of preparation, response, recovery and risk reduction. It emphasizes the importance of integration across government and non-government groups to effectively manage disasters and minimize impacts.
Drought risk mitigation and management in India is important given observed climate changes like increasing temperatures, changing monsoon patterns, and rising sea levels. The National Action Plan for Climate Change aims to promote adaptation and mitigation strategies across several sectors through various national missions. However, rural populations remain highly vulnerable to climate impacts due to dependencies on climate-sensitive resources for livelihoods. Integrated approaches that enhance adaptive capacities, promote diversification of livelihoods, and empower local communities can help reduce vulnerabilities.
Review of Climate Change and Its effect on Nigeria EcosystemAI Publications
This paper examines the issue of climate change and its impact on the environment. The effects of man's activities as well as those of natural phenomena on global warming, climate change and the environment are presented and discussed. The options that are available as response to global warming: mitigation, adaptation and possible human suffering as consequences of what cannot be avoided by mitigation and adaptation are presented. An overview of the Nigerian environment, preparedness for the impact of global warming and related problems are also presented. The status of environmental data and the need for environmental baseline survey and the creation of a comprehensive database for the country driven by geographical information system are presented and discussed. The paper then underscores the need for governments at all levels to adequately fund geo information production and cultivate the culture of its usage for adequate and proactive response to global warming, sustainable environmental management and national development.
Climate Tipping Points and the Insurance SectorOpen Knowledge
Climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world, warns the Tipping Points Report by Allianz and WWF. Twelve regions around the world will be most affected by abrupt changes.
This document summarizes the impacts of climate change and migration on South African municipalities. It discusses how climate-related disasters are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. Migration trends show many people moving from rural to urban areas in search of economic opportunities, straining municipal services. Climate change is projected to negatively impact sectors like water, agriculture, and forestry. It will also likely increase the costs of infrastructure damage from more extreme weather events. The document outlines strategies and support initiatives South Africa is taking to help municipalities adapt to climate change impacts and better manage urban migration, such as developing an Integrated Urban Development Framework.
- Climate change may exacerbate existing problems like disease, flooding and loss of biodiversity, but these problems are caused or made worse by poverty today. Alleviating poverty is likely a better solution than trying to control the climate.
- Wealthy nations are resilient to these problems because of institutions that promote property rights, contracts, rule of law, open trade, and good governance. These institutions enable people to adapt to uncertainty like climate change.
- Restricting greenhouse gas emissions and providing aid are unlikely to effectively address the root causes of problems or enable adaptation. Sustainable development requires adopting wealth-creating institutions that lead to technological progress.
Demography global warming and economic impact of climate changeCosty Costantinos
This document discusses the impacts of global warming and population growth on climate change and the environment. It notes that rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea level rise are negatively impacting populations around the world. Population growth is exacerbating these effects of climate change by increasing greenhouse gas emissions and limiting societies' ability to adapt. The economic costs of climate change are also increasing, with insurers warning that annual costs could reach $150 billion within a decade. Mainstreaming demographic and environmental policies is proposed to help address these challenges through sustainable development strategies.
While the EU and US have historically dominated global climate governance, new powers are increasingly shaping the global agenda on this issue. China's large greenhouse gas emissions and recent climate agreement with the US demonstrates how it can replace the EU-US partnership. Brazil also showed its influence by refusing to sign a deforestation pledge without being included in negotiations. Multinational companies and non-state actors additionally shape the agenda through lobbying, public pressure campaigns, and swaying consumer demand. As climate change respects no borders, truly global cooperation will be essential to effectively address this pressing, worldwide challenge.

The document outlines key aspects of the Climate Change Act of 2009 in the Philippines, including:
1) It establishes the Climate Change Commission as an independent body tasked with coordinating and monitoring climate change policies and programs.
2) The Commission is composed of the President as Chairperson and three Commissioners appointed by the President, one serving as Vice Chairperson.
3) It also establishes an advisory board composed of various cabinet secretaries and representatives from local government, civil society, and the private sector.
4) The Commissioners must be Filipino citizens over 30 years old with at least 10 years of experience in climate change, and demonstrate honesty and integrity.
US National INtelligence Estimate: Climate change and international responseEnergy for One World
The document summarizes key judgments from an intelligence assessment on the national security impacts of climate change through 2040. It finds that:
1) Geopolitical tensions are likely to increase as countries argue over how to accelerate emissions reductions to meet Paris Agreement goals, including who is responsible for acting and paying. Countries will also compete over clean energy resources and technologies.
2) Physical effects of climate change, like reductions in Arctic sea ice, will exacerbate cross-border tensions as countries secure their interests, and there is a growing risk of conflicts over water and migration after 2030.
3) Developing countries will be most impacted by intensifying physical effects and have less ability to adapt, risking instability and
Disaster is also sometimes described as a “catastrophic situation in which the normal pattern of life or eco-system has been disrupted and extraordinary emergency interventions are required to save and preserve lives and or the environment”.
Natural disasters cause extensive infrastructure destruction and economic fallout beyond initial rebuilding costs. Business disruption, mass unemployment, and reduced consumer spending impact local economies long-term as companies struggle with losses. Commodity prices are also affected, diminishing industry margins and causing shortages of staples as scarcity increases prices. A diagram shows the largest economic losses from natural disasters between 1965 and 2010, including Hurricane Katrina in 2005 which devastated the Gulf Coast region economically.
This document provides an overview of a report on insurance and risk landscape in the Southern Cape of South Africa produced by a research partnership. It discusses how climate change is increasing risks of extreme weather events and long-term changes. Insurance plays an important role in adapting to these risks by transferring financial risks. However, those most vulnerable to climate impacts often lack access to affordable insurance. The report examines case studies on risks in the region and provides recommendations on how insurers can work with governments and communities to develop solutions to build climate resilience.
Building an evidence base for climate change adaptation in agriculture: Phili...FAO
This document discusses building an evidence base for climate change adaptation in agriculture in the Philippines. It outlines several frameworks and projects for linking disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in the agriculture and fisheries sector, including understanding risk, enabling supportive environments, and reducing disaster risks to increase resilience. Specific initiatives mentioned are enhancing monitoring systems, mainstreaming development goals, and establishing model areas to implement resilience-building practices.
This document discusses guidelines for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into subnational development planning processes and integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. It provides an overview of the disaster risk assessment process, which involves hazard characterization, consequence analysis, risk estimation, and risk evaluation. The results of disaster risk assessments can then be mainstreamed into development plans by analyzing risk impacts, identifying development issues and goals, and identifying risk reduction measures. Examples from regions in the Philippines illustrate how disaster risk assessment results have been incorporated into development plans. The document also outlines an initiative to enhance local awareness of climate change, incorporate climate and disaster risks into land use planning, and strengthen multistakeholder cooperation to address climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction at local levels

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Through Mangrove Conservation and Re...Wetlands International
Climate change adaptation and mitigation can be achieved through mangrove conservation and rehabilitation. Mangroves provide important ecosystem services like coastal protection, wildlife habitat, and fisheries. They also store large amounts of carbon that helps mitigate climate change. Efforts are needed to restore degraded mangrove areas to adapt to sea level rise and protect remaining forests to reduce carbon emissions. Integrating mangroves with aquaculture can provide environmental and economic benefits over the conversion of mangroves to aquaculture ponds.
The document outlines the key policies and framework for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction established by the Climate Change Act of 2009 in the Philippines. It establishes the Climate Change Commission as the lead policymaking body and details its mandate to coordinate climate resilience efforts across government agencies and sectors. It also requires the formulation of a National Climate Change Action Plan and Local Climate Change Action Plans to drive adaptation initiatives through capacity building, vulnerability assessments, and priority-setting at the community level through multi-stakeholder participation and gender mainstreaming. Funding is to be allocated for implementing adaptation and mitigation programs.
This session provides an overview of the global landscape of climate finance.
• Part 1: Global Climate Finance. This section covers the latest figures for global finance. One of the key takeaways is an understanding of the role of public and private sector financing, and the need to justify the use of public funds for any adaptation project, and how participants can do this.
o OBJECTIVE 1: Participants be familiar with directions and trends in global adaptation/mitigation finance, so they know what is available now and what may or may not be available in the future.
o OBJECTIVE 2: Participants will describe why their project is an appropriate use of public funds.
o OBJECTIVE 3: Participants will distinguish which parts of a project are most appropriate for public finance, and which parts are more matched to public-private partnerships or other forms of financing.
• Part 2: Modalities, Responsibilities, and What to Look For. This section covers financier access modalities and procedures in detail, including the responsibilities of the various stakeholders (Fund, NIE, EE).
o OBJECTIVE 1: Participants will be familiar with the procedures in their country for accessing funds. They will know what steps they need to take and what agencies/representatives to coordinate with in designing the project.
• Part 3: Understanding the Financiers. This section focuses specifically on the priorities and evaluation procedures of the ICCTF and other finance sources available to participants. The point of this section is to ensure that the participants are developing proposals that are consistent with the priorities of their chosen financier, and that explicitly make the case that they harmonize with the mission of the financier.
o OBJECTIVE 1: Participants will know the eligibility criteria, priorities, and evaluation criteria of the climate fund(s) to which they will apply.
Session 3 focuses the types of data and information that are generally used to support climate change adaptation project proposals. The session also addresses the distinction between traditional development projects and climate change adaptation projects so that participants can make a compelling case in the proposal that the project is indeed an adaptation project and therefore eligible for “new and additional” financing.
• Part 1: Introduction to Climate Change and its Impacts: Describes the types of climate information generally used in adaptation projects, where to find the information, and how to use it. Also addresses uncertainty and how to address uncertainty in the project. Describes impacts as a combination of physical processes and socio-economic and political conditions.
o OBJECTIVE 1: Participants will be familiar with sources of climate information relevant to project design and how to access these sources of information.
o OBJECTIVE 2: Participants will structure a climate change narrative that can be used in a project document.
• Part 2: What is Climate Change Adaptation: Describes adaptation and various ways to adapt. This section instructs participants how to make a compelling case that the adaptation project is necessary. Also focuses on how to embed the project into broader development strategies.
o OBJECTIVE 1: Participants will describe climate change impacts and justify why adaptation is necessary, and what may happen if adaptation does not happen.

The average annual temperature across stations excluding Baguio is 26.6°C, with January being the coolest at 25.5°C and May the warmest at 28.3°C. Baguio has a cooler average of 18.3°C due to its high altitude. Humidity ranges from 71% in March to 85% in September. Rainfall also varies regionally, with some areas like Baguio City and Eastern Samar receiving over 4,000mm annually and southern Cotabato getting as little as 978mm. The climate is divided into a
Climate and weather of the philippines (ronith anne s. claro)Preciusz Irah
This document discusses the climate and weather of the Philippines. It describes the prevailing wind systems, including the northeast and southwest monsoons. It also outlines the four climatic types in the Philippines, which vary in their dry and wet seasons. Finally, it briefly describes the three main climate zones around the world: tropical, middle latitude, and polar climates.
The document discusses climate change impacts and responses for the Philippines. It reviews the science showing human CO2 emissions are causing global warming. It then outlines many observed impacts of global warming globally and specific impacts projected for the Philippines, including sea level rise inundating large areas of land, increasing temperatures and changes to rainfall patterns affecting agriculture and more frequent/stronger typhoons. It argues the Philippines is highly vulnerable and responses must address local needs.
The document discusses climate change projections for the Philippines based on IPCC reports. It finds that the country is highly vulnerable to impacts of climate change like rising temperatures, more extreme rainfall, stronger typhoons, and sea level rise. Projections estimate average temperatures in the Philippines increasing by 0.9-1.1°C by 2020 and 1.9-2.2°C by 2050. Rainfall patterns are also expected to change, with wet seasons getting wetter and dry seasons drier in many areas. Sea level rise poses major risks of flooding and land loss. The document outlines how these changes will severely affect sectors like agriculture, health, and coastal resources.
The Climate Change Act of 2009 establishes the policy of the Philippines to protect citizens from climate change impacts and adopt strategies to build resilience. It requires local governments to formulate and implement Climate Change Action Plans, with barangays, cities/municipalities, and provinces each playing a role. National government agencies are assigned functions to support these efforts, such as integrating climate change into education, training local governments, managing climate information, engaging international agreements, and disseminating public information. The act mandates that government agencies and local governments allocate funding to climate change programs and plans.
- Tornadoes in the US have not increased in frequency, intensity or damage since 1950, and may have declined slightly. Floods and hurricanes also show no increasing trends in frequency or intensity over similar periods. Globally, weather-related economic losses have decreased as a proportion of GDP since 1990 despite greater development in vulnerable areas. While human-caused climate change poses risks, the data do not support claims of increasing trends in extreme weather events attributed to climate change. Projections suggest extremes may increase in the future, but detection of impacts on weather events will be difficult for many decades.
Highlight of the IPCC Work and Process and Findings from the IPCC Special Rep...ipcc-media
1. The IPCC report summarizes the key findings from the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C regarding the impacts of limiting average global temperature increases to 1.5°C compared to 2°C.
2. Limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C could reduce the number of people affected by climate change impacts and reduce risks to biodiversity, food security, and economic growth.
3. Urgent and unprecedented global actions are needed to limit warming to 1.5°C, including substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and carbon removal from the atmosphere. Every bit of additional warming will raise the risk of severe consequences.

Climate Change - Impacts and Humanitarian ImplicationsCharles Ehrhart
Climate change: impacts and humanitarian implications. Presentation at the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference (DIHAD), April 2009.
Dubai Int'l. Humanitarian and Develoment Conference, April 2009guest28f8f9d2
Climate change is having more severe impacts than initially predicted, with global temperatures projected to rise 3.4-7.2°C this century unless action is taken. Key impacts include increasing temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and more extreme weather. These changes undermine food security, water access, health, and livelihoods for the world's poorest, especially women and girls. Areas with high climate risks and human vulnerability will face worsening humanitarian disasters over the next 20-30 years. Urgent action is needed to address climate change and support adaptation among vulnerable communities.

This document discusses the links between climate change and conflict based on a report by the Environmental Justice Foundation. It finds that climate change will be an increasingly important factor contributing to conflicts, acting as a threat multiplier in situations with existing stressors. Climate change impacts resource scarcity, human migration patterns, and state fragility. One of the most pronounced links is between climate change and access to natural resources, which may exacerbate tensions. Freshwater scarcity is also a significant factor driving political tensions between states. Climate change also presents challenges related to human migration and displacement. Fragile and post-conflict states are particularly susceptible to impacts of climate change. Urgent global action is needed to address climate change and prevent related conflicts.
This document outlines a research paper on climate change. It will examine the causes of climate change, including greenhouse gases and human activities. It will explore the impacts of climate change on sectors like agriculture, water resources, and biodiversity. It will also analyze the economic and social costs of climate change and challenges for developing countries. Finally, it will evaluate policy responses to climate change at national and international levels, including mitigation and adaptation strategies, as well as the role of technology and innovation in addressing the issue. The goal is to understand climate change and how to mitigate its effects through collective global action.
A multi-organization high-level compilation of the most recent science related to
climate change, impacts and responses
Publication date: September 2022
1) The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) regarding trends and projections for various climate extremes including floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, drought, and wildfires.
2) The SREX found low confidence in attributed changes to many extremes due to lack of historical trends, but projected increases in some extremes like heat waves and drought in some regions.
3) The document discusses examples of extreme events from history that challenge the notion that recent extremes are unprecedented, such as the deadly 1936 North American heat wave.
The document is an IPCC press release summarizing the key findings of their latest climate change report. It finds that urgent climate action is needed to secure a livable future, as the impacts of climate change are already causing significant losses and damages worldwide. The report highlights that climate change poses severe risks to vulnerable communities and ecosystems. However, there are feasible options to mitigate further warming and adapt to the impacts already occurring through ambitious emissions reductions, investments in climate resilient development, and global cooperation. The choices made in the next few years will be critical to determining the future climate.
Lecture 7: Urban Climate Change Mitigation and AdaptationESD UNU-IAS
The document discusses Dr. Riyanti Djalante's background and expertise in areas related to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. It includes her educational background, current role at the United Nations University, research interests, and consultancy experience working with various organizations on projects in Indonesia. The final section provides an outline for a presentation on cities and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
1. Climate change is a complex, long-term problem involving interactions between climatic, environmental, economic, political, social and technological processes. There is still uncertainty around fully understanding climate change.
2. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, known as mitigation, involves transitioning away from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy sources. Many technologies exist now but are not fully utilized, and all economic sectors can pursue energy efficiency.
3. Equity issues around distribution of resources between countries, regions, and generations must be considered in climate policies and solutions. Developing countries have no emissions targets but are expected to pursue low-emissions development paths.
Is the Philippine Mining Industry Ready to Adapt to Climate Change?Fernando Penarroyo
The Philippine mining industry should take a proactive approach to climate change adaptation or face the consequences of larger economic losses on productivity, health and safety, environmental damage to agriculture and ecosystems, and loss of social license to operate in the host communities.
K The document provides an introduction to climate change, discussing how human activities are releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, changing the climate. Climate models predict global temperatures will rise 1.4-5.8°C by 2100, though impacts will continue for centuries. Effects include sea level rise, changes to weather patterns and ecosystems, and risks to human society and infrastructure. The international community is addressing this through the UN Climate Change Convention and its Kyoto Protocol, which aim to stabilize greenhouse gas levels and limit emissions.
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change and health effects. It discusses the causes of global warming including greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. It outlines several health impacts of climate change such as changing disease patterns, food and water insecurity, effects of extreme weather events, and health risks from adaptation and mitigation activities. It emphasizes that climate change exacerbates existing health inequities. The document recommends both continuing existing public health measures but also implementing new strategies to better adapt to climate change health risks.

"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environmentFERMA
"Climate Crunch" : Scenarios for the global economic environment.
The recently published Global Risks 2014 report of the World Economic Forum identifies environmental risks as highest in terms of impact and likelihood. Those risks include both natural disasters, such as earthquakes and geomagnetic storms, and man-made risks such as
collapsing ecosystems, freshwater shortages, nuclear accidents and failure to mitigate or adapt to climate change. Failure of climate change mitigation and
adaptation is the fifth top risk concern according to
multi-stakeholders communities (see figure beside).
Climate change is evidence proven and this paper doesn’t intend to explore the causes. However, one can state that climate change is a systemic problem – it is one that touches all the others. As such by its systemic nature, it can cause breakdowns of entire systems and not only a component part. (

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

6. INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
• The scientific opinion on climate change is
that the Earth's climate system is
unequivocally warming, and it is more than
90% certain that humans are causing most of
it through activities that increase
concentrations of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, such as deforestation and
burning fossil fuels.
- Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
7. INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
• The IPCC first came out with its ASSESSMENT REPORT in
January 2001 (through the Working Group I), and their
conclusions were:
1. The global average surface temperature has
risen 0.6 ± 0.2 °C since the late 19th century, and
0.17 °C per decade in the last 30 years.
9. INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
• The IPCC first came out with its ASSESSMENT REPORT in
January 2001 (through the Working Group I), and their
conclusions were:
1. The global average surface temperature has risen
0.6 ± 0.2 °C since the late 19th century, and 0.17 °C
per decade in the last 30 years.
2. There is new and stronger evidence that most of
the warming observed over the last 50 years
is attributable to human activities, in particular
emissions of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide
and methane.
10. INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
• The IPCC first came out with its ASSESSMENT REPORT in
January 2001 (through the Working Group I), and their
conclusions were:
3. If greenhouse gas emissions continue the
warming will also continue, with temperatures
projected to increase by 1.4 °C to 5.8 °C between
1990 and 2100. Accompanying this temperature
increase will be increases in some types of
extreme weather and a projected sea level rise.
11. INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS
No scientific body of national or
international standing has pushed forward
any formal opinion dissenting from any of
these three main points.
12. World Economic Forum
Global Risks Report 2013
• The World Economic Forum is an independent
international organization committed to improving the
state of the world by engaging business, political,
academic and other leaders of society to shape global,
regional and industry agendas.
• Global Risks 2013 report is based on an extensive survey
of over 1,000 experts worldwide. The report – now in
its eighth edition (since 2006) – serves to orient and
inform decision-makers as they seek to make sense of
an increasingly complex and fast-changing world.
15. World Economic Forum
Global Risks Report 2013
• Economic and environmental systems are
simultaneously under stress worldwide, and this is
testing resilience at the global and national levels.
• Meanwhile, the impact of climate change is more
evident as temperature rises and more frequent
extreme weather events loom on the horizon.
16. World Economic Forum
Global Risks Report 2013
• The 2013 report identified the failure of climate change
adaptation and rising greenhouse gas emissions as
among those global risks considered to be the most
likely to materialize within a decade. Compared to last
year’s survey, the failure to adapt to climate change
replaced rising greenhouse gas emissions as the most
systemically critical.
• This change in the data mirrors a wider shift in the
conversation on the environment from the question of
whether our climate is changing to the questions of “by
how much” and “how quickly”.
18. U.S. NIC’s Critical Uncertainties by 2025
“…A lack of national leadership in tackling climate
change further damages America’s international
standing as it fails to lead by example. The charge that the
current US policy is short-sighted and disconnected from
the scientific evidence means that America is sowing the
seeds for more environmental and economic damage in
the future.”
19. U.S. NIC’s Critical Uncertainties by 2025
“..But in a world living on borrowed time, there is no
sense of urgency associated with the problem of climate
change, except for those most likely to feel its effects.”

other large-scale atrocities
Nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological
weapons
Terrorism
Transnational organized crime
22. NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& NATIONAL SECURITY
In defining Economic and Social Threats, including poverty,
infectious disease and environmental degradation, the UN
said that:
“Environmental degradation has enhanced the
destructive potential of natural disasters and in
some cases hastened their occurrence. The dramatic
increase in major disasters witnessed in the last 50
years provides worrying evidence of this trend… “
23. NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& NATIONAL SECURITY
In defining Economic and Social Threats, including poverty,
infectious disease and environmental degradation, the UN
said that:
“.. More than two billion people were affected by
such disasters in the last decade, and in the same
period the economic toll surpassed that of the
previous four decades combined. If climate change
produces more acute flooding, heat waves,
droughts and storms, this pace may accelerate.”
24. NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& NATIONAL SECURITY
Poverty, infectious disease, environmental
degradation and war feed one another in a deadly
cycle.
Disease and poverty, in turn, are connected to
environmental degradation; climate change
exacerbates the occurrence of such infectious
disease as malaria and dengue fever.

and shortages of land and other natural resources,
can contribute to civil violence.
25. NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& NATIONAL SECURITY
Poverty ( as measured
by per capita gross
domestic product
(GDP)) is strongly
associated with the
outbreak of civil war
28. The NSP 2011-2016
• It is an open-source document, available for
download from our Official Gazette at:
http://www.gov.ph/2011/08/18/national-security-
policy-2011-2016/
• In it, the NSP posits that: “Climate change is
expected to hit developing countries the hardest.
Its effects – higher temperatures, changes in
precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, more
frequent weather-related disasters, pose risks to
agriculture, food and water supplies…”
29. NEXUS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
& NATIONAL SECURITY
• (cont’d): “.. At stake are the Philippines’ recent
gains in the fight against poverty, hunger and
disease, and in protecting the lives and
livelihood of our people.”
30. CCA & SD in the Philippines
• After the first meeting of the UN Conference
on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) in
1992 (Rio 1992), the PHL gov’t. established
the PCSD under NEDA.
• FVR’s “Philippines 2000” strategic plan was
heavily influenced by Rio 21.
• Succeeding versions of the MTPDP (now PDP)
have incorporated SD as a concept and basis
for action plans
31. CCA & SD in the Philippines
• In 2009, PHL passed RA 9729 or the Climate
Change Act, leading to creation of Climate
Change Commission and adoption of National
Framework Strategy on Climate Change.
• In 2012, RA 10174 was passed, amending RA
9729 and setting up a Php 1 billion People’s
Survival Fund (PSF) annually to implement local
climate change action plans and make
communities more resilient to climate-induced
disasters.
32. CCA & SD in the Philippines
• Relatedly, PHL also passed RA 10121 or the
“Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010,” abolishing the NDCC
and reconstituting it into a NDRRMC.
• This law also recognized the critical effects of
climate change on disasters and calamities in
the country, and called for a “Community-Based
Disaster Risk Reduction Management”
(CBDRRM) system
34. The PCSD’s Agenda 21 recognizes the
importance of raising our citizens’ civic-
mindedness – their ability for good
citizenship – in promoting SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT.
