Extreme weather conditions such as droughts, floods, storms, as well as earthquakes and landslides pose a major threat to society by destroying not just the places people live but also their sources of income. This leads to different migratory movements, both within the affected regions and across borders. In order to help the affected populations in the best possible way, political decisions and adaptation strategies are needed that strengthen communities’ long-term resilience.
