"These days, it’s hard to escape news stories discussing how climate change is
contributing to extreme weather disasters, including the recent U.S.
hurricanes. Aid agencies are increasingly worried about the widespread damage.
A growing question as these disasters worsen in a warming world is how to pay
for recoveries, particularly in poorer countries that have contributed the
least to climate change.
I am a climate scientist who researches disasters, and I work with disaster
managers on solutions to deal with the increasing risk of extreme events. The
usual sources of disaster aid funding haven’t come close to meeting the need in
hard-hit countries in recent years. So, groups are developing new ways to meet
the need more effectively. In some cases, they are getting aid to countries
before the damage occurs."
