The number of disasters affecting the lives of every quarter of billion people are rising on one hand, but the damage caused by these nature events in return. Experts pay attention to climate change factor.
[[T]]Tayfunlar, earth shifts, floods or forest fires – the news releases do not go to the day where natural disasters are not included. Is the number of disasters really growing, or thanks to modern communications tools, our news is more often? According to a survey conducted this month, two of the Germans are concerned about the increase of the number of disasters due to the change in the climate.

Since 1992, the international community had to spend $2 billion dollars in order to increase the damage caused by hurricane, floods and droughts. Home Walter Amman, President of the "Global Risk Forum" is located in Davos town of Switzerland. Amman does not doubt that climate change increases the number of natural disasters:
Attention to change[]][
"When we look at the number of events in the last 10 years, we can count that the damage balance sheet is absolutely changing. I don’t agree that this observation is not objected, more quickly and detailed views than disasters over 20 years ago. The trend is in the direction of increase. “
]The German Disaster Prevention Committee shows the number of climate change as one of the reason of growing natural disasters. The Organization is therefore a call for the draft of disasters, taking into account the data on climate change.
Professor Gerd Tetzlaff from the University of Leipzig, head of the scientific committee of the committee. Tetzlaff highlights that disasters are associated with climate change are difficult. Professor Tetzlaff says that climate change should be examined on the local basis when it comes to events that are particularly rare and large.

]]] [For example, increased air temperature in many European countries bring the risk of forest fire. On the other hand, climate change is not the only controller of these disasters, but it supports the session of certain conditions. In some regions of the world, extreme weather conditions are spinning. Professor Tetzlaff Sees the increase of hurricanes in the Caribbean when we face with the data in the country. Climate Forecasts show the length of this trend. However, you need to examine what increases the increase will be. [
Katrina Kasırga, especially hit the New Orleans city of the USA in 2005, was the indicator that could also hit the rich industrial societies of extreme weather conditions. These countries will be able to take while necessary or cope with the harm caused by disasters. However, the situation in poor countries in the world is much different. Professor Gerd Tetzlaff talks with cheek:
]]"As a country's failure rating, the effect of a negative change from outside is also greater than that. Climate change is also an external factor. A poor country of course can not be born against extreme weather conditions and does not protect itself against negative consequences. “

One of the main reasons of this conference, poverty emissions of access that have effect on the organism. Experts from the Global Risk Forum and the Prevention Committee of German Disasters highlight that adapting to varing climate conditions is also one of the important steps. Due to change natural disasters, disaster prevention and disaster management studies have become an integral part of climate.
