Natural disasters are different from environmental disasters, where particular industries cause various kinds of damage-chemical pollution (Bhopal 1984), nuclear radiation (Chernobyl 1986), large oil spills (BP in Gulf of Mexico 2010). In March 2011, Fukushima turned into a unique triple disaster, where one natural disaster (earthquake) led to a second natural disaster (tsunami), which caused a third disaster, this time industrial (nuclear reactor's explosion). In addition to natural and industrial disasters, a new type of disaster caused by human-induced climate change has emerged, characterized by extreme weather events, sea-level rises, damage to bio-diversity, etc. These slow-happening disasters produce a separate category of" climate-change victims"(see" Defining Climate-Change Victims" by Vesselin Popovski and Kieran G. Mundy, Sustainability Science Journal, Vol. 7, 2012).
