Not everyone faces the same risk from disasters. People with disabilities and other at-risk groups are often forgotten in disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs and left behind when disaster happens.
Framed in the COVID-19 context, this presentation will provide information on how communities can plan for economic recovery after a disaster through increased focus on disaster financial literacy.
This side event follows the session on Nature-based Solutions on the 26th of May. It will look cross-thematically at the Global Platform’s themes and address how Nature-based solutions can contribute to the implementation of the Sendai Framework.
In this session key tools will be introduced, and experience shared related to effective strategies to ensure uninterrupted health service delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic and other emergencies.
