If we Know It’s Coming, Why do we Wait?
In this episode we uncover how pre-arranged financing can help when floods, drought and conflict have eroded coping capacities.
About This Episode
Wildfires, floods, drought – climate disasters are hitting harder and faster. The response is often too late, leaving millions to suffer.
In fact, less than 2% of international crisis financing is arranged in advance —and an even smaller portion reaches the world’s poorest communities.
What if we could act before catastrophe struck? In this episode of Counter Crisis, we uncover how pre-arranged financing – committing funding and preparing response plans in advance – can help in places where floods, drought, and conflict have eroded coping capacities.
Jeevan Vasagar from Tortoise Media is joined by Nena Stoiljkovic and Abdihakim Ainte.
