Abstract

Climate change has become a significant driver of natural disasters, intensifying the frequency, severity, and unpredictability of extreme weather events. From hurricanes and floods to wildfires and droughts, these disasters pose a growing threat to global stability by affecting ecosystems, economies, and human livelihoods. This article examines the complex relationship between climate change and natural disasters, highlighting how rising global temperatures and shifting weather patterns exacerbate vulnerabilities in both developed and developing nations. It explores the social, economic, and political consequences of such events, including displacement, food insecurity, and economic loss. The paper also underscores the urgent need for comprehensive mitigation strategies and adaptive policies, with a focus on international cooperation and sustainable development. By addressing both the root causes of climate change and enhancing resilience to natural disasters, global efforts can be directed toward safeguarding communities and promoting long-term stability.
