A Year In Review: Annual Report 2025-26


2025-26 was a year of momentum for pre-arranged financing, with more money arranged before disasters strike than ever before.
This review sets out the Centre for Disaster Protection's work over the year, from advising governments and partners on how to plan and pay for disasters in advance, to producing the evidence and data that shape policy and practice across the system.
It shows the difference that work has made, and where we will focus next as more countries move from responding to disasters to preparing for them.
