THE FUTURE OF CRISIS FINANCING

A CALL TO ACTION

A landmark new report from the Centre for Disaster Protection examines how the right financial planning, incentives, tools and commitment could help the world to be far better prepared for crises. 

The Future of Crisis Financing: A Call to Action offers a diagnosis of some of the current challenges in the international crisis financing system, and sets out a new vision and agenda for change.  

Since the report was produced a brutal pandemic has spread across the world: Covid-19. As outlined in a blog by the Centre’s Director, Daniel Clarke, this experience underscores many of the paper’s key findings, including the need for better and earlier responses to risks, and the critical importance of working together to monitor global threats and put pre-agreed support in place ahead of time.
