🌍 Disasters cost the world an estimated $2.3 trillion every year.
But much of these losses could be prevented through smarter investments in disaster risk reduction and resilience.

Imagine what we could do with the savings:
📚 $400 billion could open up education for every child.
💉 $285 billion could vaccinate every child worldwide.
⚡ $170 billion could power the world for five years.
🚰 $114 billion could deliver safe drinking water to 140 low- and middle-income countries.
🍚 $93 billion a year could end global hunger.

Every dollar invested in prevention saves lives, livelihoods, and billions in recovery costs. It’s time to fund resilience, not disasters.
