Summary

The Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction emphasizes the need for evolving structures to address systemic risks, especially in the context of accelerating climate change impacts. It calls for a shift in governance systems to prioritize the interconnected values of people, the planet, and prosperity. This includes measuring sustainability, ecosystem value, and future climate impacts. The report stresses the importance of understanding risk for sustainable development but highlights the necessity of integrating this understanding into financial and governance systems to accurately assess costs. Additionally, it explores how human decision-making biases can hinder effective risk management and suggests designing systems that align with human psychology to support quicker and better-informed action.
