Part III - Chapter 9

If the return on capital continues to rise faster than economic growth, then inequality may become a destabilizing global force that manifests not only in increasing disaster risk but also in decreasing capacities to manage those risks. Similarly, if inequality is a challenge to global governance, it is also a challenge to disaster risk management. If successful and competitive countries are able to invest more in disaster risk reduction while unsuccessful and uncompetitive countries are unable to do so, then disaster risk inequality will continue to increase.
