These are key resources to understand more on how climate change increases disaster risk.

The difference between 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming may not seem significant. But research shows that failing to limit global warming at 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels will significantly increase disaster risk.

People living in slums or in poorly-maintained buildings experience growing health risks due to heat stress - this is called “thermal inequity”.

From early warning systems to evacuation models, artificial intelligence is behind a number of promising innovations for disaster risk reduction.

Ecosystem-based approaches can provide effective solutions for flood risk management.
