💡 How do decision-makers choose the right investments in disaster resilience—especially when resources are limited?
Prioritization is essential. In this video, we explain how multi-criteria analysis and cost–benefit analysis help governments compare different disaster resilience investments and decide where funding will have the greatest impact.
You’ll learn how this works in practice, using the example of resilient infrastructure:
⚖️ How multiple criteria—cost, risk reduction, social impact, and feasibility—are weighed
đź“Š How costs and benefits are identified and compared over time
🏗️ Why avoided losses from future disasters matter
⏳ How discount rates bring future benefits into today’s values
➗ How the benefit–cost ratio (BCR) shows whether an investment is worthwhile
If the benefits outweigh the costs, resilience pays.
👉 Smarter investment decisions today can reduce losses, disruption, and risk tomorrow.
