摘要：Many countries around the world are facing increasing impacts of natural disasters. This is primarily
attributed to climate change, accompanied by an increase in the intensity of meteorological and hydrogeomorphological natural hazards. However, is climate change really responsible for this increased
damage and low resilience, or should the cause be sought elsewhere? Based on the case of Slovenia, it is
shown that social irresponsibility (e.g., inadequate spatial planning, lack of supervision, insufficient
insurance policies, and a mix of politics and capital influences) could be a factor more responsible than
climate change for the “catastrophic” consequences of natural disasters.
