'Leave something on the table' - a key point from Mia Amor Mottley re: unique role of Fund for responding to Loss and Damage to fill a critical finance gap in raising funds for #lossanddamage due to #climatechange impacts. UN Development is committed to supporting developing countries in this effort.

The cost of disasters is ⬆️ - but so's the case for investing in resilience. At #HLPF2025 event w/ MOFA of Japan JICA - Japan International Cooperation Agency & UNDRR, we made the case for disaster risk reduction as a driver for sustainable growth, not a side issue. Let’s shift from response to readiness.

Loss & Damage took a major step forward at #COP30, but this progress will only matter if we strengthen systems to protect people on the frontline. Our Ronald Jackson reflects 👇 undp.org/geneva/blog/ne…

Hurricane Melissa showed both the value & the limits of our preparedness systems. A systems approach to future recovery & resilience is essential against rising risks - aligning data, governance, planning and finance. My reflection on the way ahead 👉 go.undp.org/iht

Loss & Damage reveals the fragility of our systems - not just the force of nature. #COP30 moved the Loss & Damage agenda forward; real progress now depends on mobilising support to help countries build resilient systems. My analysis on the key takeaways: go.undp.org/i7g

As climate risks rise, many parts of the 🌎 are becoming uninsurable. Without resilience, premiums rise & risk reduction stalls. We need insurance models that price risk & reward adaptation, I ✍🏾 w/ Lauren Carter & Miguel Solana from UNDP Sustainable Finance. go.undp.org/i92
