“This implies climate and other disaster-resilient deferral mechanisms, insurance nets and emergency-response financing, including a more sustainable financing model of humanitarian aid."

[eiyahen @eiyahen]

An important read! ‘A green transition that leaves no one behind’ : “We need a stronger global safety net, based on prearranged approaches, to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change, especially when disasters hit.” https://t.co/dWm5JzZrfC
