Natural Disasters and Climate Change An Economic Perspective

“Hallegatte’s effort has potential to be recommended to academics and government officials who wish to investigate economic consequences of a disaster and constitute future course of actions considering multiple uncertainties and climate scenarios. We found that the book consists of easy-to-understand theoretical discussions, logical explanations, clear language and impressive illustrations with a combination of vivid economic analysis. We believe that many institutions, academicians, decision makers and earth science scholars would find the book a worthwhile acquisition.” (D. Bhatt, R. K. Mall and T. Banerjee, Natural Hazards, Vol. 78 (1), August, 2015)
