The title link is to a special IPCC web page devoted to Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX). From the IPCC press release:
Rajendra Pachauri, Chair of the IPCC, said today: “This summary for policymakers provides insights into how disaster risk management and adaptation may assist vulnerable communities to better cope with a changing climate in a world of inequalities”.
“It also underlines the complexity and the diversity of factors that are shaping human vulnerability to extremes--why for some communities and countries these can become disasters whereas for others they can be less severe,” he added.
The site contains an interesting slide show which can be accessed at the link Generic Presentation, just below the video, which is not yet available.
