Disaster Risk Reduction in World Economy


Southasiadisasters.net issue no. 179, December 2018
AIDMI's publication of Southasiadisasters.net is titled "Disaster Risk Reduction in World Economy" and focuses on the important theme of loss and damage incurred by assets due to disasters. This issue also provides a compendium of best practices and initiatives such as country-wide risk transfer programmes that provide a coping mechanism to the respective economies when faced with massive loss and damage from disasters. Another interesting theme explored in this issue is the unfair structure of climate finance that can potentially keep developing countries in a perpetual debt trap.
