🌍 Two futures. One choice.
Zehra was born in 2025. In one life, she suffers from extreme heat, hunger, and loss. In another, she thrives—thanks to investments in resilience, knowledge, and sustainable farming.
This video brings Zehra’s two possible futures to life, showing how risk data, technology, and early action can shape better outcomes for communities facing the harsh realities of climate change.
🔥 From rising heat and droughts
🌱 To tree-planting, water conservation, and smarter farming
📊 From missing school
🎓 To becoming a teacher
Zehra’s story is fictional—but the risks and choices are real. The future we create depends on what we do today.
💡 Let’s invest in knowledge, close the digital divide, and ensure everyone has the tools to build a disaster-resilient future.
Every Day Counts, Act for Resilience Today.

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
