In summary, disasters are a stark illustration of the potential for extreme weather events to impact people and other species. With the frequency, severity and  likelihood of several types of extreme weather increasing, disasters can increasingly be regarded as 'the public face of climate change' . Detection and attribution studies make the climate change fingerprint of several types of disasters increasingly clear . Moreover, existing vulnerabilities and exposures play an important role in turning extreme events into disasters, further exacerbating existing racial, gender and social inequalities . Therefore, disaster risk reduction needs to be central to adaptation and mitigation efforts to meet the SDGs and the Paris Agreement for a climate-resilient future.
