Evaluate the drafted changes

 * Overall, this is an interesting and important addition to the topic of environmental disasters that is written in a clear, balanced manner. The introductory sentence clearly defines the concept, and the lead does a good job at distinguishing between natural and anthropogenically caused environmental disasters. The lead provides a brief, but comprehensive overview of the article’s content, and the article as a whole is written in a neutral tone.
 * The article addresses one of Wikipedia’s equity gaps and is relevant to underrepresented peoples as it pertains to how marginalized communities are preferentially impacted by environmental disasters.
 * The content of the Climate Change and Environmental Disasters is currently unclear. I believe the intent is discuss how climate change and other anthropologic changes (e.g., deforestation, development in flood-prone areas, etc.) are likely to amplify the frequency and/or severity of natural disasters and their impacts. Here, it would be useful to more clearly distinguish between anthropogenic causes and natural disasters.
 * The references are reputable, current, and thorough. Most citations have active hyperlinks, but a few are missing links.
 * The subsection on the Seveso Disaster 1976 would benefit from focusing more on the consequences of the accident (Were there significant health, environmental, or economic impacts?) and less on dioxin itself.
 * There are already several images on the Environmental disaster article page, but you could consider adding an image that complements the content of the Human Dimensions of Environmental Disasters section.
