Disaster Science and Management Due to a number of factors, including climate change, the frequency of disasters is rising, and the resulting losses to the environment, economy, human population, and infrastructure are growing at an alarming rate. The majority of countries have acknowledged that disasters are the largest barrier to attaining the Millennium Development Goals, which were established by the UN. In India, the annual loss resulting from natural disasters is roughly 2% of GDP, whereas the government invests 4.1% of GDP annually in education, a critical sector.
