Abstract Thischapterdiscusses integratedapproaches to themanagementof risks
relatedtoextremeweatherandclimatechange.This isdonewiththeLossandDam-
age (L&D)mechanismof theUNFCCCinmind.Relevant insightsareprovided for
climate policy negotiators and policymakers on how riskmanagement and adap-
tation interactwithL&Dsolutions, and vice versa, on howL&D-related activities
can support risk reduction and adaptation in vulnerable countries. Particular atten-
tion is devoted to how riskmanagement can help society confront the impacts of
weather disasters in relation to anthropogenic climate change. A holistic view of
riskmanagement is presentedbydiscussing: the state-of-the art of risk assessment
methods;(cost-benefit)evaluationsofriskmanagementoptions;household-scalerisk
reductionstrategies; insuranceschemesfor residual riskandtheir relationswithrisk
reduction; and thedesignofadaptationpathways tocopewithuncertain timingand
intensityofclimatechangeimpacts.Eachtopicis illustratedwithconcretecasestud-
ies. Finally, conclusions are drawnon the links betweendisaster riskmanagement,
climateadaptationand theL&Dmechanism.
