Excellencies, friends,
On behalf of the governments of Saint Lucia and the UK and the Risk-informed Early Action Partnership – welcome to you all.
Thank you for joining today’s important discussions to determine how to scale up early action on disasters.
We must reach REAP’s goal of making 1 billion people safer from disaster by 2025.
Between 1970 and 2019, 79% of disasters involved weather, climate and water-related hazards.
70% of resultant deaths occurred in the Least Developed Countries.
Sadly, these events will only increase.
But increasing also is our ability to forecast and forewarn: over half of humanitarian needs stem from ‘predictable’ events.
But still only 1% of humanitarian finance is prearranged.
