Climate and disaster risk – driving inequality and crises
Hazards and climate change do not affect everyone equally – and never have.
Climate and disaster risks do not exist in a vacuum – they exacerbate existing
vulnerabilities, other risks and can be exacerbated by instability and shocks.

Integrated climate and disaster risk management
1. Develop capacities for national policy development and implementation
that promote coherence and synergy.
2. Build a coherent risk governance system that takes an all-hazards
approach.
3. Understand how climate change, natural, biological and technological
hazards affect each other.
4. Develop financing strategies for climate and disaster risk-informed
investment.
5. Prioritize support to co-efficient disaster and health risk management
and adaptation measures.
6. Coordinate data collection, assessment, implementation, monitoring
and evaluation.

Conclusion
Risk-blind investment = systemic
risk
‒ Entrenches existing risk
‒ Perpetuates vulnerability of
excluded and marginalized people
‒ Generates new risks
$1 invested in risk reduction and
prevention can save up to $15 in
post-disaster recovery.
Risk-informing the Strategic
Development Solutions in the
Cooperation Frameworks is vital for
sustainability in climate emergency
