The INFORM Risk Index is an open index for measuring the risk of humanitarian crises globally. The INFORM partners – which include UNDRR – believe that the availability of shared analysis of crises and disasters can lead to better coordination of actors and better outcomes for at-risk and affected people. INFORM creates a space and process for shared analysis that can support joint strategy development, planning and action to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from crises. This can bring together development, humanitarian and other actors to manage risk and respond better when crises do occur. Explore the INFORM 2024 Report to learn more ➡️ https://ow.ly/AYv750SOao8

Can our infrastructure handle extreme heat? 🚆🛤️✈️ The climate crisis is causing more frequent and severe heat waves across the globe. Much of our critical infrastructure was built for a cooler world and is unprepared for this new normal. Roads buckle, trains slow down, and power grids strain, risking blackouts. We need to reduce risks with stress testing and investments in making infrastructure resilient ➡️ https://ow.ly/qkGu50SNYlu

🌡️The world is getting hotter, and heat stress is taking its toll on health and economies, with greatest impacts on the poorest communities and countries. 📊 But heatwaves generally don’t figure in the economic estimates of disaster impacts, and the costs of extreme heat are largely indirect – such as lost productivity and health. Throughout the world, demographic subgroups such as undocumented workers, socially vulnerable individuals and other marginalized people are also largely excluded from national tallies of heatwave health impacts, including deaths. 💡Addressing this data disparity is crucial for developing effective heat mitigation strategies.

Communities in least developed countries (LDCs) are among those most at risk from disasters, which can sweep away years of development progress in just a few hours. LDCs lose an average of 10% of their GDP due to disasters, but just 4.1% of disaster-related financing is spent on prevention and preparedness . Today on #LDCsDay we call for increased international support to LDCs through dedicated financing instruments, policy support and capacity development. And break the cycle of disaster > respond > recovery > repeat . More on how poverty & inequality drive disaster risk ➡️ https://ow.ly/LMBc50SLYJ6
