<p><b>Provides an understanding of the relationship between social-ecological systems and multilevel governance so that readers can properly deal with hydrometeorological extreme events and hazards</b></p> <p>Based on field investigations from EU research projects, this book is the first to devote itself to scientific and policy-related knowledge concerning climate change-induced extreme events. It depicts national and international strategies, as well as tools used to improve multilevel governance for the management of hydrometeorological risks. It also demonstrates how these strategies play out over different scales of the decision-making processes.</p> <p><i>Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance Issue</i> offers comprehensive coverage of such events as floods, droughts, coastal storms, and wind storms. It showcases real-life success stories of multilevel governance and highlights the individuals involved and the resources mobilized in the decision-making processes. The book starts by presenting a synthesis of hydrometeorological extreme events and their impacts on society. It then demonstrates how societies are organizing themselves to face these extreme events, focusing on the strategies of integration of risk management in governance and public policy. In addition, it includes the results of several EU-funded projects such as CLIMB, STARFLOOD, and INTERREG IVB project DROP.</p> <ul> <li>The first book dedicated to hydrometeorological extreme events governance based on field investigations from EU research projects</li> <li> Offers a “multi-hazards” approach—mixing policy, governance, and field investigations’ main outputs</li> <li>Features the results of EU-funded projects addressing hydrometeorological extreme events</li> <li>Part of the Hydrometeorological Extreme Events series</li> </ul> <p><i>Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events</i> is an ideal book for upper-graduate students, postgraduates, researchers, scientists, and policy-makers working in the field.</p>
