UN warns disasters to increase by 40% by 2030
The Philippine Star
|August 23, 2024
Disasters will increase by 40 percent by 2030 amid the ongoing threat of climate change, according to United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific chief Marco Toscano-Rivalta.
"This stark projection indicates that we are going off course from the goal we set in the global blueprint for disaster risk reduction, the Sendai framework in 2015. We are building risk rather than decreasing it. Therefore, while we need more and better disaster preparedness and response, most fundamentally we need to double down on prevention and risk reduction," he added.
Toscano-Rivalta announced this during the media launch of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR).
