The Enlightenment of Domestic and International Legal and Policies Related to the Sea Level Rise Adaptation by ZHANG Zefei, REN Shutong, XIA Dongdong, SHEN Xiaoying

“…Along China's coast, the rate of sea level rise exceeds the global average, leading to compressed coastal habitats, loss of shoals, threaten underground freshwater resources, and exacerbated disasters such as storm surges, floods, and sea water intrusion. The risen sea level also constrains the sustainability of coastal spatial planning. …”

Conceptualization of disaster risk. Towards the Understanding of its construction by Mariela Vivier, Celia Torrens

“…The city shows that disorderly urban growth, the lack of mitigation works and the role of the State have led to the construction of vulnerabilities and the generation of situations of environmental risk that often end up materializing in a disaster with serious damage to homes, infrastructure of services, streets and people evacuated, as happened in the storm of April 2014, in which 80% of the urban plant was flooded with dissimilar consequences in the different sectors of the ejido.…”
