Global Initiative on Disaster Risk Management (GIDRM III): key messages on risk-informed development
Risks are increasingly cascading across social, economic and environmental systems, making them impossible to address retrospectively. The level of systemic risk is about to become a potential existential threat to current social-economic development. Development is taking place in an environment of uncertainty and complexity with dynamic risks and emerging threats - both at the local and the global level.
GIDRM is taking this all-hazard-approach meaning that, while hazards vary in source (human-induced, hybrid, natural and climate-induced), they often challenge individuals, societies and systems in similar ways.
