Cyberattacks, floods, disease outbreaks, earthquakes, pollution, ecosystem collapse, wildfires, storms — today’s risks are interconnected and growing. 🌍
When left unaddressed, these shocks can ripple through global markets, exposing people, communities, and entire economies to severe consequences.

This video explains why risk-blind finance is no longer an option. Current financial rules often overlook disaster and climate risks, driving short-term decisions that increase vulnerability and undermine sustainable development.

To build a resilient future, we need to:
✔️ Address market failures and short-termism
✔️ Ensure disaster risk is fully priced, disclosed, and accounted for
✔️ Align fiscal and market-based measures with resilience goals
✔️ Bring businesses, investors, and stock markets into the solution
✔️ Reconfigure the relationship between finance, the economy, and the health of our communities and ecosystems

The Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework is a crucial opportunity to reshape global finance so that capital serves people, planet, and prosperity.

Together, we can reduce risk and build a resilient global economy. 💼🌱
