class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">To meet the cascading challenges of the 21st century and safeguard the lives, health and livelihoods of all people, we must reduce systemic risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Weak governance, growing poverty, biodiversity loss, collapsing ecosystems and unplanned rapid urbanization are all interconnected drivers of disaster risk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Left unaddressed, they aggravate the intensity and frequency of disasters and increase the need for humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">And they stand in the way of our global effort to defeat COVID-19, adapt to climate change, and build forward better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Just 24 hours advance warning of a storm or heatwave could reduce the ensuing damage by 30 per cent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, many low- and middle-income countries lack adequate early warning systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">And when disaster strikes, weak health systems and infrastructure leave them even more vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Decades of development gains can be wiped out in an instant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Building resilience to climate change and reducing disaster risk and losses is vital to save lives and livelihoods, eradicate poverty and hunger and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Small Island Developing States, it is a question of survival amid warming oceans, rising seas, and intensifying storms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Effective risk reduction relies on international cooperation and global solidarity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is about ensuring fair and equitable access to vaccines for everyone, everywhere;<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">dramatically increasing funding and support for climate change adaptation and resilience building;<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">and delivering on the Sendai Framework.<\/p>\n<p class=\"selectionShareable\" style=\"text-align:
