About us
| Human factors, such as globalization, population growth, poverty, urbanization and changes in land use, are aggravating the negative consequences of climatological, hydrological and meteorological hazards. Extreme climate events are also increasing water-related disaster risks faced by populations living in vulnerable areas. Losses are increasing in both developed and developing countries, and in this inter-connected world, the impact of an event can immediately cross borders, leading to cascading consequences, even in areas that are remote from the event. Repeated exposure to disasters is hampering sustainable development in vulnerable localities. AWCI (Asian Water Cycle Initiative) aims to promote comprehensive efforts to solve such water related problems in Asia, as one of Task Groups (TG1) of AOGEO (Asian Oceania Group on Earth Observations). |
