By 2030, up to 11 million people in the Philippines could face dangerous heat (heat indices above 42°C).

At the end of our Phase II work (2018-2024), Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance impacted 3.14 million people and influenced USD1.26 billion of funding towards resilience. Take a look at our new digital report to see how we achieved this: zcralliance.org/zfra-phase-2-i…

Through community advocacy work in Tana River County, Concern Worldwide influenced the government to increase the disaster risk reduction budget from 2% to 10%. During the 2023 floods, these funds supported better preparedness, response and recovery. 🔗zcralliance.org/resources/item… #DRRday

Through a budget study, messaging around #DRR investment, and community resilience data, Mercy Corps and UN Development influenced the adoption and disbursement of a 5% budget provision for resilience activities in Sudurpaschim province, Nepal. 🔗 zcralliance.org/resources/item… #DRRday

Concern works to support communities which have been impacted by climate disasters and help to build their resilience against future hazards. Since 2021, we have worked with communities in Nsanje District, Malawi, an area that is highly vulnerable to floods and food shortages.
