All investments and development assistance in Small Island Developing States (SIDS) must be risk informed, says UNDRR Head Kamal Kishore.

We have to close the infrastructure deficits – but ensure that they are resilient in the face of new, more extreme disaster risks.

Japan is a key partner to UNDRR and a global champion for #DRR. "Japan has not only built disaster resilience for itself but also has been contributing significantly to building global disaster resilience" - SRSG Kishore meeting Vice Minister Hosaka at #SIDS4

[Nahuel Arenas @niankul23]

Reducing economic losses is about creating systems that can adapt and recover from #disasters. We shared a rich conversation at @SIDS4AB with @MichMuschett @RHughJackson @cdri_world and national authorities on how to deliver #ResilientInfrastructure for #SIDS @UNDRR_Americas

[Anwar Baksh @BakshAnwar]

Less than 2% of ODA is invested into Disaster Risk Reduction within the Caribbean. Do you think this is sufficient for resilience building?

A comprehensive approach to climate and disaster risk management is key. Engaging discussions, and a vibrant exchange of ideas between sectoral agencies, local government and civil society in Trinidad and Tobago are shaping new pathways for integrating the two agendas.
