Main driver is growing social, economic and environmental
vulnerability
Disasters impact economic growth
Average GDP loss in disasters: 2-15% (WB case studies)
Vulnerability to disasters is at the core of the fight against poverty, as
poor are consistently most affected
Poverty outcomes not met in disaster-prone countries (WB case
studies)
Disasters and Climate Change


Climate change effects occurrence of natural hazards
and vulnerability to disasters

Early impacts of climate change felt in least developed
countries through increase in extreme climate events

Global agenda driven by climate change while
national concerns grounded in disaster events and
climate variability
Strategic Framework for risk
reduction and sustainable recovery

Drivers of Bank’s Strategic Framework
- Analytical studies demonstrate evidence of disaster-developmentenvironment nexus
- Lessons of experiences (more than 605 projects with $32 billion in
disaster recovery and mitigation)
- IEG evaluation of natural disasters
assistance (1984-2003)
- Hyogo Framework for Action (2005-15)
- EC-WB-UN Joint Declaration on Post-Crisis Assessment and
Recovery Planning (Sept 2008)
- UN-WB Partnership Framework for Crisis and Post-Crisis Situations
(Oct 2008)
