Prof. (Dr.) Praveen Kumar Gaur (Principal -Metro College of Health Sciences &Research (Pharmacy) with other authors, published a book chapter on the topic “Role of climate change in disasters occurrences: Forecasting and management options” in a book entitled “Visualization Techniques for Climate Change with Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence” by ScienceDirect, Elsevier publisher (Elsevier B.V. , Amsterdam, Netherlands), one of the worlds renowned publisher in medical and healthcare.

In this book chapter, the authors have emphasized for focusing on forecasting and management of disasters happening due to extreme climate change all over the world.

Global warming is a very challenging issue for the current world. With more than 800 million people all over the world, global warming seems to be chiefly anthropogenic. It is estimated that the global temperature of our planet will be enhanced by 1.5°C in the coming decades as the greenhouse gases continue to pollute our atmosphere. Elevated sea levels, withered crops, starving humans and animals, heat waves, heavy rains, and shrinking glaciers are giving a chilling picture of climate change. Apart from this, urbanization and industrialization resulting in land degradation and soil erosion are further worsening the situation. As far as forecasting and management are concerned, scientists all over the world are trying to understand the phenomena and helping people by predicting, forecasting, and diminishing the effects of disasters. They are focusing on risk and hazard assessment, research, and educational programs on climate variability, improvement in forecast skills, and teaching from disasters. Climate predictions aid in the prediction of big weather occurrences that affect many facets of human life. In this chapter, the authors have tried to focus on forecasting and management of disasters happening due to extreme climate change all over the world.
