Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of multiple natural disasters and climate change, the living conditions of humans and the environment are critical natural capital because of their ability to regulate climate and multiple natural hazards. Researchers and decision makers around the world are devoting themselves to research of satellite remote sensing for the assessment of multiple hazards risks , as well as their control and transfer. This Special Issue will focus on the role of risk transfer and insurance in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaption. This Special Issue also emphasizes the advances in remote sensing and satellites for multiple risk analysis and risk management in the period of global climate change.
