Title: Managing flood risks and sustainable development go hand in hand
Physical description: 2 p.Notes: Sumario: Floods in China continue to be a regular occurrence with almost half the country's population facing flood risks, yet the annual number of fatalities caused by flooding has decreased significantly in the period from 1980 to 2016 (with one exception in 2010 due to a major landslide). Dr Wolfgang Kron of Munich Re discusses the reasons behind this development, lessons learned and why the sustainable development of cities is crucial to managing flood risks.Related records: En: Asia insurance review. - Singapore : Ins Communications Pte Ltd., 2009- = ISSN 0218-2696. - 03/07/2017 Número 7 - julio 2017 , p. 58-59Materia / lugar / evento: Inundaciones ‌Riesgos meteorológicos ‌Desarrollo sostenible ‌Other categories: 328.1
