During the second session at the 1st #ArabEWSForum, hosted by @arableague_gs in #Cairo, multi-hazard and systemic risk assessments are critical for shaping resilient policies and risk-informed planning, supporting proactive responses rather than reactive crisis management.

🤝The Arab region faces compounding risks, demanding integrated action linking disaster risk reduction & climate change adaptation:
✅Strengthens risk governance
✅Improves early warning systems
✅Enables anticipatory & preventive action
