Riesgos Naturales
La deforestación de las montañas puede llevar a inundaciones devastadoras.
Con la probabilidad de un incremento en la frecuencia e intensidad de desastres relacionados con el clima como inundaciones, sequias y tormentas tropicales, el coste tanto de la gestión del riesgo como la reconstrucción y la mejora posterior se incrementaran también.
