Abstract
We have discussed the possibilities of mitigating the effects of impacts from natural and anthropogenic hazards on human populations and their physical environments. This is only part of the planet’s environmental equation. We must also consider the impacts of hazards on ecosystems and life therein that is fundamental to human sustainability on earth. One can start with an assessment of the effects of global warming/climate change and the disruptions and disasters these effects can cause or support in ecosystems.
