The UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR 2023) highlights how resilience can be strengthened to withstand and respond to shocks. This includes investments in early warning systems where the benefits triple in vulnerable contexts because of their proven ability to reduce damage. This report explores what risk-informed sustainable development looks like in an increasingly complex and risky world, highlighting how resilience-building must be central to the framing of a more risk-informed post-2030 agenda.
