Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate the socioeconomic and ecological Impact of the great 2008 Chinese ice storm and lean sustainability lessons from it. The ice storm strucked the most populated and economically developed region of the country, and was more damaging than the 1998 North American ice storm. Its individual episodes occurred for around a month. Statistics released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of China revealed that the direct economic loss alone was more than $22.3 billion and indirect losses, which were expected to increase. A multidisciplinary research team with members from inside and outside the storm region comprehensively assessed the event's cause and impact after the storm. The goal of the team was to draw from the disaster lessons and general principles of sustainable socioeconomic and ecological development that was to be useful in planning for future extreme weather and climate events.
