About

Disasters are escalating in severity, number, and frequency. Annual disasters rose from 65 in 1973 to 398 in 2020, projected to reach 540 by 2030, according to UNDRR. Their impacts are substantial, affecting lives, communities, livelihoods, and economies. Policy-makers increasingly recognize the significance of land restoration for establishing secure and sustainable environments.

Ecosystem-based approaches like Eco-DRR are gaining traction, aiming to enhance ecosystem condition and resilience in urban, rural, and coastal areas. Recently, the G20 Indian Presidency formed the first DRR working group, fostering collaboration, research, and best practices within the Sendai Framework.
