Our vision is a world where disasters do not devastate lives

The cost of disasters and crises should be paid for with money, not with lives and livelihoods.

We work to prevent disasters devastating lives, by helping people, countries, and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters, so that those most vulnerable people are better protected. We focus on more impactful and more equitable disaster risk finance that leaves no one behind.

We’re helping to grow the emerging evidence base on how to better reach and support people in need to help ensure that money and plans are in place before a disaster strikes. We work with governments and organisations to create practical and policy solutions, incentivise proactive risk management and risk financing and support risk informed decision making.

We do this because we want to see urgent change so that adequate support is available to those who need it, when they need it most.
