Building Resilience to Global Risks: NAP Global Network Progress Report 2019-2020

Contents
“The resources we need to adapt to current and
imminent climate-driven disaster risks are within
reach. As an example, it would take an estimated
50 billion U.S. dollars annually to meet the
adaptation requirements set out by 50 developing
countries for the coming decade. This amount is
dwarfed by the global response to the economic
impact of COVID-19 which has already passed 10
trillion U.S. dollars … This money should be used
for the essential task of creating jobs, whilst at the
same time also facilitating a green, inclusive, and
resilient recovery.”

Tackling the humanitarian impacts of the climate crisis
together.” International Federation of Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies, September 2020
