“This report reveals a few key lessons learned during the past 50 years. These include:
- Review hazard exposure and vulnerability considering a changing climate to reflect that tropical cyclones
may have different tracks, intensity and speed than in the past. - Strengthen disaster risk financing mechanisms at national to international levels, especially for Least
Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States and Territories. - Develop integrated and proactive policies on slow-onset disasters such as drought.”
