“…Adaptation to disaster risk is a relatively complex concept. Its complexity is not only reflected in human perception, identification of risks, and the corresponding adaptive management/organizational behaviors but also in the process of adaptation [ 3 , 80 , 97 ]. The root of this complexity lies in the following.…”

“…The climate system is changing, so uncertainty about extremes is rising. For example, this could include using varied model parameters to indicate the adaptability of some new crops and tree species to future climate change and the development of production technology to adapt to future climate change [ 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 ].…”

The role of natural disaster adaptation is increasingly being considered in academic research. The Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goal 13 require measuring the progress made on this adaptation. This review summarizes the development stages of adaptation, the multiple attributes and analysis of adaptation definitions, the models and methods for adaptation analysis, and the research progress of natural disaster adaptation. Adaptation research methods are generally classified into two types: case analysis and mathematical models. The current adaptive research in the field of natural disasters focuses primarily on the response of the social economy, especially the adaptive decision making and risk perception at farm-level scales (farmer households). The evaluation cases of adaptation in the field of disasters exist mostly as a part of vulnerability evaluation. Adaptation and adaptive capacity should focus on four core issues: adaptation to what; who or what adapts; how does adaptation occur; what is adaptation; and how good is the adaptation. The main purpose of the “spatial scale–exposure–vulnerability” three-dimensional scales of adaptation assessment is to explore the differences in index system under different scenarios, the spatial pattern of adaptations, and the geographical explanation of its formation mechanism. The results of this study can help and guide future research on integrating climate change and disaster adaptations especially in regional sustainable development and risk reduction strategies.

“…Moreover, countries with higher levels of economic development and better educational attainment, greater trade openness and more effective ex ante disaster risk‐financing mechanisms find it easier to absorb the economic shocks of disasters because they can provide implicit insurance against shocks caused by nature. (Noy, 2009; Klomp, 2016; Berlemann and Wenzel, 2018; Parida et al ., 2021).…”

Based on a panel of 31 provinces and cities from 1990 to 2019, we first conduct an empirical analysis using the maximum likelihood (ML) procedure to examine the effects of various disasters (i.e. droughts, floods, earthquakes, storms, typhoons and low and freezing temperatures) on the medium‐term economic growth of China and its three economic regions (i.e. the eastern, central and western regions). We identify the transmission channels through which these disasters affect economic growth by investigating the medium‐term relationships among disasters, capital accumulation, human capital accumulation and total factor productivity. The interprovincial empirical analysis demonstrates that the effects differ across the economic regions. Thus, disasters affect economic growth through different channels but mainly through capital stock. Further research indicates that the growth effect of disasters largely benefits from Chinese government expenditures on disaster relief.

“…He also observed that along with economic development better political coordination between the national and sub-national government is essential to mitigate the impact of floods. However, with district level analysis conducted for Odisha state Parida et al (2020) found that economic development (proxied by per capita income) is not adequate to minimize fatalities from natural disasters. They also argue that better disaster adaptation measures such as better medical facilities, adequate road infrastructure, higher primary enrolment, village electrification, forest cover, and financial accessibility help in mitigating disaster fatalities to some extent.…”

<p>This paper tries to account for the economic loss due to natural disasters, as the depreciation of capital and provide the adjusted estimate of NDP. Systematic data on economic loss due to natural disasters are limited for all Indian states. Therefore, this paper provides a methodological framework for accounting for the depreciation of the capital due to natural disasters for all Indian states and provides an approximate estimate of adjusted NDP for all Indian states. Due to availability of systematic data on the economic loss due to natural disasters, time series estimate of adjusted NDP are provided for Odisha state which experiences maximum climatic natural disasters. Calculation of adjusted NDP will be very much useful for fiscal transfer from Union to States and other economic policy making. </p>
