随着全球气温升高,极端天气气候事件趋多趋强,气象灾害的发生次数、死亡人口和经济损失呈现逐年增加的特征,世界各国气象灾害风险均不同程度升高。气象灾害风险升高不仅取决于极端天气气候事件趋多趋强,承灾体暴露度和脆弱性增加同样尤为重要。极端天气气候事件发生时,发达国家经济损失更高,发展中国家除经济损失高外,人员伤亡亦很大。中国是世界上气象灾害种类最多、影响范围最广、发生频率最高、灾害强度最大的国家之一,灾害风险高于全球大多数国家;死亡人口多和经济损失大是中国气象灾害风险高的两个主要表现。面对气象灾害风险逐年升高的事实,世界各国需为应对灾害风险做出相应努力。2015年近200个国家和地区通过《巴黎协定》,达成将全球温度上升严格控制在2℃以内的协议是减小气象灾害风险的有利因素。
<<With the rising of global temperature and intensification of extreme weather events,frequency,casualties and economic losses from meteorological disasters have been increasing globally,which exacerbates the meteorological disaster risks to a certain degree in every country. Degree of disaster risks related not only with the characteristics of extreme events,but also determined by the exposure and vulnerability of hazard-affected bodies. Extreme events usually cause more economic losses in developed countries,but developing countries suffer severe casualties besides for high economic losses. China is one of the countries with the widest affected area by largest number,highest frequency and strongest intensity of meteorological disasters,belongs to high risk country. High death toll and economic losses are two main characteristics of risk level in China. Every country needs to make corresponding efforts to cope with the increasing meteorological disaster risks,and the Paris Agreement reached in 2015 for limiting global warming to 2℃ is a valuable action to reduce the weather risks worldwide.
