The disasters (floods, earthquakes), climate change have huge impacts on agriculture, water resources, urban areas, forest and biodiversity, ecosystem changes. The flora and fauna also have severe impacts due to changing climate and recurring disasters. In present scenario, the land use and land cover changes are the major contributor to the increasing concentration of GHGs through decreasing carbon sink due to deforestation, increasing carbon release due to extensive tillage, emissions from newly developed and growing urban settlements, increased methane emission from expanding paddy fields, etc. The focus of conference are the use of traditional knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels. It is also very important to reduce the underlying risk factors and strengthen the pre-existing methodologies disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels. In this context the conference aims to discuss the causes, impacts and mitigation strategy to reduce the losses caused due to land use and land cover changes, climate change and disasters.
