Paperback. Adaptive Disaster Risk Management: Global Challenges, Strategies, and InnovationsDisaster risk today is shaped as much by institutions, infrastructure, and global interdependence as by hazards themselves. Climate change, rapid urbanization, technological linkage, and geopolitical disruption are changing risk faster than traditional, reactive, project-driven systems can manage. This book argues for disaster risk management that can learn, adjust, and keep working under uncertainty, constraint, and fragmentation.Adaptive is the central idea. Adaptive systems evolve as risks, technologies, and institutions change. They start from real capacities rather than imported blueprints. They combine scientific and Indigenous knowledge. They last because countries own and finance them. And they keep operating when international cooperation weakens. Resilience is therefore not only technical. It is institutional, commercial, and societal.Modern disasters cross agencies, borders, and the public-private divide. Floods, wildfires, cyberattacks, pandemics, and infrastructure failures cascade through systems whose dependencies are invisible in ordinary times. Resilience depends on whether governments, private operators, communities, and partners can keep essential services running and adapt when supply chains, finance, or cooperation break.Lifeline systems-energy and fuel, water, health and pharmaceuticals, food, communications, and transport-are the backbone of social continuity and economic exchange. Most are privately operated, so public-private partnership is not an add-on; it is core. Durable partnerships align governments, investors, operators, manufacturers, logistics firms, insurers, and communities so capital, technology, expertise, and services can move quickly when disaster strikes.Resilience cannot be imported as a finished product. Capabilities built with external funding decay when projects end unless ownership, financing, maintenance, procurement, and skills are built at the same time. Sustainable resilience means institutions that can operate, pay for, maintain, understand, and adapt solutions in their own setting, backed by trusted regional and international partners.Early warning remains essential, but only inside the full continuum: risk knowledge, prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. A warning matters only at the last mile-when people receive it, trust it, understand it, and have authority and resources to act. Adaptive management therefore brings local government, communities, business, and Indigenous knowledge into the system.In a fragmenting world of strained alliances, disrupted trade, and sanctions, resilient domestic systems and reliable partnerships matter more, not less. Trade and investment, supported by capable institutions and mutual interest, remain practical channels for resilience even when politics does not.The book gives practitioners, policymakers, managers, and private-sector leaders a framework for diagnosing systemic weakness and designing capacity-sensitive strategies that fit different national realities. Its purpose is to strengthen institutions, guide investment, build lasting public-private partnerships, and connect local resilience to the trade and economic networks on which modern societies depend.

Adaptive Disaster Risk Management: Global Challenges, Strategies, and Innovations
Disaster risk today is shaped as much by institutions, infrastructure, and global interdependence as by hazards themselves. Climate change, rapid urbanization, technological linkage, and geopolitical disruption are changing risk faster than traditional, reactive, project-driven systems can manage. This book argues for disaster risk management that can learn, adjust, and keep working under uncertainty, constraint, and fragmentation.
Adaptive is the central idea. Adaptive systems evolve as risks, technologies, and institutions change. They start from real capacities rather than imported blueprints. They combine scientific and Indigenous knowledge. They last because countries own and finance them. And they keep operating when international cooperation weakens. Resilience is therefore not only technical. It is institutional, commercial, and societal.
Modern disasters cross agencies, borders, and the public–private divide. Floods, wildfires, cyberattacks, pandemics, and infrastructure failures cascade through systems whose dependencies are invisible in ordinary times. Resilience depends on whether governments, private operators, communities, and partners can keep essential services running and adapt when supply chains, finance, or cooperation break.
Lifeline systems—energy and fuel, water, health and pharmaceuticals, food, communications, and transport—are the backbone of social continuity and economic exchange. Most are privately operated, so public–private partnership is not an add-on; it is core. Durable partnerships align governments, investors, operators, manufacturers, logistics firms, insurers, and communities so capital, technology, expertise, and services can move quickly when disaster strikes.
Resilience cannot be imported as a finished product. Capabilities built with external funding decay when projects end unless ownership, financing, maintenance, procurement, and skills are built at the same time. Sustainable resilience means institutions that can operate, pay for, maintain, understand, and adapt solutions in their own setting, backed by trusted regional and international partners.
Early warning remains essential, but only inside the full continuum: risk knowledge, prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. A warning matters only at the last mile—when people receive it, trust it, understand it, and have authority and resources to act. Adaptive management therefore brings local government, communities, business, and Indigenous knowledge into the system.
In a fragmenting world of strained alliances, disrupted trade, and sanctions, resilient domestic systems and reliable partnerships matter more, not less. Trade and investment, supported by capable institutions and mutual interest, remain practical channels for resilience even when politics does not.
The book gives practitioners, policymakers, managers, and private-sector leaders a framework for diagnosing systemic weakness and designing capacity-sensitive strategies that fit different national realities. Its purpose is to strengthen institutions, guide investment, build lasting public–private partnerships, and connect local resilience to the trade and economic networks on which modern societies depend.

Diritto legale di recesso
Hai il diritto di recedere dal presente contratto entro 14 giorni senza fornire alcuna motivazione.

Per esercitare il diritto di recesso, compila e invia elettronicamente una dichiarazione esplicita sul nostro sito Web, alla voce “I miei acquisti” nella sezione “Mio account”. Ti comunicheremo senza indugio una conferma di ricezione di tale recesso su un supporto durevole (ad es. via e-mail).
Per rispettare il termine di recesso, è sufficiente inviare la comunicazione relativa all'esercizio del diritto di recesso prima della scadenza del periodo di recesso stesso.
Effetti del recesso
In caso di recesso dal presente contratto, ti rimborseremo tutti i pagamenti ricevuti, compresi i costi di spedizione (ad eccezione dei costi supplementari derivanti dalla tua eventuale scelta di un tipo di spedizione diverso dal tipo meno costoso di consegna standard da noi offerto).
Potremo effettuare una detrazione dal rimborso per la perdita di valore dei beni forniti, qualora tale perdita sia il risultato di una manipolazione non necessaria da parte tua.
Eseguiremo il rimborso senza indebito ritardo e non oltre 14 giorni dal giorno in cui saremo informati della tua decisione di recedere dal presente contratto.
Il rimborso sarà effettuato utilizzando lo stesso mezzo di pagamento da te usato per la transazione iniziale, salvo che tu non abbia espressamente concordato altrimenti; in ogni caso, non dovrai sostenere alcun costo quale conseguenza di tale rimborso.
Possiamo trattenere il rimborso finché non avremo ricevuto i beni oppure finché non avrai fornito la prova di averli rispediti, a seconda di quale condizione si verifichi per prima.
