This publication shows how ADB plans to help step up disaster resilience in Asia and the Pacific by leveraging its expertise to tackle systemic risks and reduce underlying vulnerabilities in the world's most disaster-prone region.
Outlining how costly disasters impact sustainable development, the publication explains the need to increase investment in disaster risk reduction and preparedness, improve disaster risk knowledge, and boost resilient recovery frameworks. Advocating a holistic approach that includes stronger disaster risk governance, innovative technologies, and greater financing, it shows why harnessing the private sector's capabilities can help strengthen resilience as climate change intensifies.
