Answer 1

There is an urgent need to invest in disaster risk reduction to minimise our vulnerability to future events. To date, much of the focus has been on reactive measures to address sudden onset events such as storms and landslides, including humanitarian aid relief and preparedness. However, climate change is also responsible for slow onset disasters such as drought. While emergency measures are critical in times of disasters and require continued efforts, as a global community we must move from reactive to proactive risk reduction. Proactive investments in risk reduction can help countries prepare for this type of disaster that may be ‘invisible’ until a crisis point is reached, when more resources may be required to reverse the damage.

Failing to address risk factors now means failure to secure investments in longer-term climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Investing in ecosystem management pays off in terms of longer-term resilience to climate change.
