Africa: Indirect Disaster Effects Cost the World Nearly $2 Trillion Per Year, Says UN Secretary-General On International Day: [UN News] From 1970 until 2000, the costs of disaster averaged $70-$80 billion. Those mainly preventable costs doubled this century to average $180-$200 billion annually, according to a recent report published by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TNfpn2 #DisasterManagement #ClimateChange #SustainableDevelopment #UNDRR #Africa

🌍 How can data save lives during disasters?

WorldPop co-produced high-resolution population data for a new UN study, helping map how vulnerable groups across Latin America & the Caribbean face risks from floods, earthquakes, and more.

Smarter data = smarter disaster planning. 💡📊

#AméricaLatina y #Caribe invierten <2% del PIB en prevención de desastres, pese a pérdidas de $58 mil millones/año.

78% del presupuesto es para respuesta post-desastre (4-7x más caro que prevenir).

#UNDRR urge sistemas de alerta temprana y seguros. #CambioClimatico #DesastresNaturales

RT by @EU_UNGeneva: Yesterday @PLMissionGeneva hosted @HeadUNDRR, Mr. Kamal Kishore. It’s been a good exchange on #UNDRR activities, building resilience as one of the Polish priorities during presidency in the EU Council & preparations to the 8th session of the Global Platform for DRR in June 2025.

I like that kind of chart a lot. It speaks to an intuition and isn't too shy to allow and even instil jumping to conclusions between keywords.

And the implied connectivity of everything within the flower, ie beyond the arrows, is like relational database tables design. Ready to be filled with data records.

Here's such a chart from a report by the UN Department for Disaster Risk Reduction #UNDRR

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction's 2023 International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction focuses on inequality https://www.fosslife.org/2023-international-day-disaster-risk-reduction-focuses-inequality #climate #UnitedNations #disaster #risk #environment #sustainability #UNDRR

⛑️ We're working hard on developing tools & services that improve disaster risk reduction, but also help when catastrophe has already struck

‼️ We have highlighted our most important tools & services on our blog for you:
