Expressing its deep concern at the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and associated natural disasters,

Changes in global climate patterns and the frequency of extreme weather events have increased the threat of natural disasters.

Climate change impacts are already evident in regions of such States, with the frequency and intensity of extreme natural events increasing.

Those extreme events demonstrate the awesome power of nature.

Taking into account the fact that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent manner,

Taking into account that extreme weather events and associated natural disasters and their reduction must be dealt with in a coherent and effective manner,

Extreme events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, will be less extreme and less frequent with successful mitigation.

Noting the need for international cooperation to increase the capacity of countries to respond to the negative impacts of all natural hazards, including extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, particularly in developing countries,

Expressing deep concern at the increasing negative impact of severe natural hazards, including earthquakes, extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, which continues to hinder social and economic progress, in particular in developing countries,

Expressing its deep concern also at the enormous negative impact of severe natural hazards, including extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, which continues to hinder social and economic progress, in particular in developing countries,

Noting the need for international cooperation to increase the capacity of countries to respond to the negative impacts of all natural hazards, including earthquakes, extreme weather events and associated natural disasters, particularly in developing countries,

Taking into account that geological and hydrometeorological hazards, extreme weather events and their associated natural disasters and their reduction must be addressed in a coherent and effective manner,

Coastal regions are the most vulnerable to many kinds of extreme weather events.

The number of extreme precipitation events is also increasing and are increasingly widespread.

Projections indicate that extreme weather events will become more common in the future.

Consider what the IPCC had to say about extreme weather events such as intense hurricanes.

But, before millions of people are submerged, many will be struck by extreme weather events.

This has led to an increase in the number and severity of extreme weather events.

Many Parties highlighted specific aspects of their climatic circumstances including exposure to extreme weather events.

Moreover, the four assessment reports that the IPCC has so far produced have allowed a better understanding of the threat posed by climate change in terms of extreme weather events and natural disasters.

Many researchers believe that the threat to life and property from NEOs, when averaged over long periods, is comparable to that from more familiar natural hazards such as earthquakes and extreme weather events.

As recent events had demonstrated, no country was safe from natural disasters.

It further includes water related disasters, emergencies and other extreme events and their impact on human security.

As a consequence extreme versions of natural rewards have a unique ability to capture us.

The text was scientifically inaccurate and misleading and there was insufficient evidence to indicate a trend towards increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts and floods, or of natural disasters worldwide.

(b) Improving access to high quality data and information on current and future climate variability and extreme events

Increases in the frequency or severity of extreme weather events could cause extensive damage, especially in developing countries.

Such catastrophic events underscore the vulnerability of coastal regions worldwide to extreme weather events that produce intense storm surges (increased water depth at the coast) and large, powerful waves.

Taking into account the various ways and forms in which all countries, in particular the more vulnerable developing countries, are affected by severe natural hazards, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and extreme weather events such as heatwaves, severe droughts, floods and storms, and El Niño La Niña events, which have global reach,

In addition, construction in coastal areas damaged by extreme events could be prohibited, as has been done in Hilo, Hawaii.

Look no further than the insurance industry as they struggle to cope with mounting catastrophic losses from extreme weather events.

The event has also reminded us of how poverty compounds the devastation caused by natural events.

Auschwitz did not occur in a vacuum. It was the furthest extreme of a disaster that incorporated all these other events.

Extreme climate events such as droughts, floods, tropical cyclones, severe storms and bushfires are regular environmental factors requiring flexibility and adaptation.

The debated concept of sustainable relief addresses emergency situations stemming from both natural cataclysmic events and conflict.

The IOM's humanitarian intervention in response to natural disasters encompasses assistance to populations displaced by such events.

When we have extreme El Nino events, you see all this red, and you see no green out here around the Galapagos.

This increases the likelihood of extreme weather events, like Russia s heat wave and Pakistan s floods in 2010, which affected millions of people.

Mr. Ian Burton, independent consultant, Canada, stressed the importance of motivating individuals to spread technologies for adaptation, especially relating to extreme events.

In many rural areas, deteriorating and outdated infrastructure has lost its resilience to climate related extreme events such as hurricanes and droughts.
