The side event will delve deeper into the issues presented in the 2021 Financing for Sustainable Development Report Thematic Chapter on financing for risk reduction and resilience. Experts on climate-sensitive and risk-informed investing, from the insurance sector, and on international development cooperation will discuss how governments, IFIs, development banks, and the UN system can integrate disaster risk reduction into domestic public financing and domestic and international private finance. It will identify actions that governments can take to finance the implementation of their national and local disaster risk reduction strategies; to leverage development cooperation as a catalyst for risk-informed development; and to integrate a multi-hazard risk-informed approach to public and private investing across all sectors that considers economic risks as well as social and environmental risks.
