COVID-19 gave many polluted countries a breath of fresh air. But this sigh of relief was short-lived as global pollution levels crept back up. Before long we resumed we are over-consuming natural resources and degrading the environment at rapid rates. In the process, we are destroying nature and hindering a powerful protector against disasters. Now one-fifth of countries worldwide are at risk of ecosystem collapse.

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
