Conceptualizing Cold Disasters: Disaster Risk Governance at the Arctic Edge

摘要: Abstract Present literature on disasters predominantly focuses warm, accessible and well-populated contexts. However, as human activities in Arctic Antarctica become more common, cold contexts, their special characteristics, relevant to study. In the present article, we explore depth particular circumstances characteristics of governing what call 'cold disasters'. The article is structured four overall parts. first part, Cold Context, provides an overview specific conditions a context, exemplified by Arctic, zooming Greenland provide background for paper. second Disasters Contexts, discusses disasters' relation disaster theory, order to, elucidate how challenge existing understandings disasters, also it examples emergency scenarios, demonstrate demanding dynamics third Governing Disasters, discuss main implications governance Greenlandic context. Finally, offer our conclusions.
