ENHANCED RESILIENCE BUILDING MECHANISM
Building adaptive capacity and resilience at the individual and community level lies at the core of the Doha Programme of Action. Among the countries reporting to the Sendai Framework targets for disaster losses, LDCs account for 48% of livelihood disruptions, 40% of deaths, 17% of economic losses, and 14% of infrastructure damage – even though their combined GDP amounts to only 1% of the total, while their population represents only 18% of the reporters. In 2020 alone, 8.5 million people in LDCs were displaced due to disasters. However, most people in the LDCs and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) remain unprotected by early warning systems. The DPoA notes the high importance of building resilience in least developed countries through increased capacity building and finance for climate change adaptation. The DPoA aims to support and reinforce existing comprehensive multi-hazard early warning systems and comprehensive multi-hazard crisis mitigation and resilience-building measures for least developed countries.

HOW?
- By building and strengthening multi-hazard early warning systems and a comprehensive multi-hazard crisis mitigation and resilience mechanism for each least developed country.
- By investing in disaster risk reduction for greater preparedness to ensure LDCs are more resilient against climate catastrophes
- By improving early warning capacity to ensure preparedness to prevent and respond to any shocks including unforeseen economic setbacks.
OTHER SDGs BENEFITED
Integrating disaster risk reduction within policies for structural transformation, productive capacities, infrastructure development, health and education, and sustainable agriculture will ensure that investment decisions made today will not create further risks for current and future generations. Also, early warning systems assist public officials and planners, saving money overall by protecting critical infrastructure. Successful early warning systems improve preparedness, save lives and jobs, land and infrastructure and support long- term prosperity.
