Abstract

Emergency Event Database (EM-DAT) reported 432 devastating events during 2021, related to natural hazards, which is much higher than the last year’s calamities (i.e. 357). Amongst all, Asia is most affected continent with 40% sufferings of all continents along with 66% of the total people affected. These catastrophes include drought, earthquake, floods, extreme temperature, storms, landslides, wild fires, etc. These disasters impair socioeconomic and environmental growth of all the developing countries across the globe. Besides posing serious threats to sustainable development, such events also amplify the issue of food security by affecting cropped area. Most of the scientists believe that these catastrophes have become more frequent than ever before only because of severe impact of climate change.

Natural forests, plantations, and linearly planted trees besides delivering numerous ecosystem services play a critical role in combating the serious threats of climate change, which are the fundamental causes of mentioned disasters. Serious efforts are indispensable to build disaster and climate resilient agricultural systems that will be capable of improving the food security of targeted areas. Forests protect the top fertile layer of the soil from erosion by reducing run off and enhancing seepage, percolation, infiltration, and ultimately recharge but also protect different agricultural crops from high-velocity winds and flash floods. These trees besides providing protection also improve fertility of the soil by addition of organic matter.

Generally, forestry programs across the globe are launched to address the issues like climate change, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, global warming, drought, energy crises, etc. The idea of enhancing area under forests is considered as an effective approach to tackle all the above-mentioned issues. This chapter encompasses the role of our forests in mitigating all these catastrophes.
