GAR - special report 2024 : forensic insights for future resilience learning from past disasters

If we accept that disasters are neither natural nor inevitable, then we must work to prevent or at least reduce their impact. Hazard events are becoming more intense and frequent in all regions of the world. When vulnerability and exposure levels are high, then these hazard events are much more likely to become disasters. Extreme disasters are not "normal". Recent climate hazard events have exceeded historical norms as well as the projections of many risk models. The UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR 2024) looks at present and future trends, showing how forensic analysis can enable more targeted and more effective risk reduction.
