Failure to address this accelerating and transformative shifts, widespread inherent vulnerability means that hazards, such as floods, disruptions, and persistent inequity. As the range and droughts, storms, earthquakes, and tsunamis push up to 26 complexity of risks rapidly grow and evolve, there has never million people into poverty every year, even without accounting been a more opportune time or urgent need to bring together for secondary impacts such as adverse health effects. Clearly, good development practices, efforts to address climate change, tackling poverty reduces risks, and reducing risks helps to and effective disaster risk management policies. tackle poverty. Disasters are already keeping people and countries in poverty Fortunately, good development—which takes into account through direct and indirect losses to property and livelihoods. disaster and climate risk in its design and implementation— This trend will only be exacerbated as people increasingly feel provides a powerful tool to reduce risk and vulnerability. the effects of climate change. Development objectives—such Research shows that without significant intervention, more as the eradication of extreme poverty and universal access to than 100 million people may fall into poverty by 2030 as basic services—will not be achieved without enhanced action a result of climate change. However, if we embrace good to manage risks. development practices, then we can dramatically reduce this The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery number by 80 percent or more.2 Similar analysis for unplanned (GFDRR) recognizes that sustainable development cannot be urbanization shows that in rapidly growing cities, 77 million achieved by adding a layer of risk management upon ‘business- people can be prevented from falling into poverty simply by as-usual’ development.

These tools to manage, mitigate, and absorb residual risks and unavoidable however must be adapted to account for increasing hazardous shocks. events, changing climate, and other risks. For example, risk sensitive urbanization and land-use planning policies create Research has clearly established and quantified the link economic opportunities without putting people unnecessarily between risk, poverty, and development.1 Poverty is an at risk. Similarly, universal access to infrastructure and basic important driver of vulnerability, where the poorest are twice services such as energy, water, and sanitation builds human as likely to live in fragile housing that can be completely capital and lessens exposure to environmental shocks.

However, this potential can only and the Paris Agreement are not only inseparable from the be realized when all development projects consider their design broader development agenda and the Sustainable Development and implementation. Goals, but they are in fact fundamental to achieving sustainable development. To contribute to the global development agenda, While targeted climate change adaptation and disaster risk GFDRR will strive to ensure that disaster and climate resilience management projects have a critical role to play, the most is central to the development process by continuing to influence efficient way to reduce poverty and population vulnerability is development partners over the next three years. Box 1: Resilience and Poverty Reduction n Cities are engines of socioeconomic growth and smart land-use and urbanization planning should be priorities for rapid and balanced development. If such planning integrates measures to manage and account for disaster and climate risks—for instance, by steering urban development toward safe areas and away from flood prone areas—they can also be critical risk-reduction instruments.4 However, rapid urbanization can also be the main driver in the increase of risk and disaster losses if these risks are disregarded in the development planning process5 or if such planning is largely absent in the face of poor governance and uncontrolled migration. n Achieving universal access to infrastructure and basic services, such as education, health care, drinking water, sanitation, telecommunications, and electricity, is a development and poverty-reduction priority. People with access to such services are less vulnerable to natural hazards if infrastructure is well-designed. Appropriate sanitation reduces flood risk by removing waste that would otherwise block drainage systems and contributes to reduced water pollution after flooding, mitigating negative impacts on health—especially for children and the elderly. Telecommunications and electricity improve access to information and help early warning systems save lives. However, in situations where governance is poor, investment in such infrastructure is insufficient or does not consider that disaster risk, infrastructure damage, and service interruptions can have a cascading and compounding effect with devastating impact on economic growth. n Financial inclusion, disaster risk financing and insurance, social protection systems, and social safety nets have a proven positive impact on poverty and development. Conditional cash transfers contributed to a rapid poverty decrease in Latin America, and the approach is now being used in many developing countries. When structured as ‘adaptive social protection,’ these systems can help people and communities recover more quickly from disasters, reducing the likelihood of humanitarian crises. However, if disaster and climate risks are disregarded in the design of these instruments, they may create an unsustainable burden on public finance and inadvertently magnify the consequences of disasters. 4 See the GFDRR report “Investing in Urban Resilience.” 5 See the GFDRR report “The Making of a Riskier Future.” Strategy 2018-2021 / 7 VISION A world where resilient societies manage and adapt to ever-changing disaster and climate risk, and where the human and economic impact of disasters is reduced. MISSION To facilitate implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, by ensuring that all development policies, plans, and investments—including post-disaster reconstruction—are designed to minimize disaster risks and build the resilience of people and economies to climate change.

Disaster risk management is effective catalyst for creating long-term positive change. inherently multi-disciplinary, and GFDRR recognizes that one 10 / Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) Operating Principles GFDRR’s strategy is underpinned by seven operating principles detailed below. Demand-driven approach to ensure maximum impact Development programs can only have a deep and lasting impact if they emerge from, and are embedded in, national priorities and institutions. GFDRR-funded activities respond to specific requests from national and sub-national authorities, ensuring the necessary ownership needed to achieve positive results. A demand-driven approach also helps countries more effectively coordinate support from other development partners. Leveraging development investments and policies To achieve the scale needed to make vulnerable communities resilient, GFDRR finances activities that are expected to have the most impact. GFDRR provides technical and/or financial assistance to leverage additional investment for resilience building by informing and mobilizing resources from national governments or development partners; enabling development investment by directly supporting the design/ or implementation of a DRM operation; and co-financing DRM operations with other development partners to increase the scale of interventions, which often lead to domestic investment and policy change. Since its creation in 2006, GFDRR has helped leverage over $20 billion of investment for disaster and climate resilience operations from the World Bank alone, and over $2 billion from other development partners.   Photo credit: Thinkstock.com Strategy 2018–2021 / 11 Focusing on inclusive design and participation Developing knowledge and sharing best Resilient development will not be achieved unless all practices stakeholders are involved in the planning and implementation GFDRR is committed to ensuring that national authorities and of disaster risk management interventions.
