Disaster Risk Management and Humanitarian Action

Details

This session will explore feasible ways in which financing can support disaster risk management across key areas of loss and damage. Looking first at response, the session will draw on community perspectives to highlight the need for problem- not solution-driven approaches, the value of flexible resources for people-centred response, and emerging approaches and challenges with integrating short-term humanitarian relief and longer-term risk reduction efforts. Looking next at recovery, where build back better is often sadly more rhetoric than reality, we will explore which financing mechanisms can support an inclusive and resilient recovery, including a required shift for insurers to resilient reinstatement.
