Inclusion

In July 2024, global temperatures hit 1.64°C above pre-industrial levels. Vulnerable communities face disproportionate climate impacts, worsening racial disparities. A "climate vulnerability gap" metric can help align climate action with racial equity.

Global Preparedness Monitoring Board calls for actions such as monitoring equity, building resilient healthcare systems, creating equitable frameworks, inclusive laws, better financing, and mitigating socio-economic impacts to ensure equity in pandemics.

This briefing note highlights the need to ensure that disaster risk reduction policies are inclusive of hyper-marginalised children and youth, not just a moral imperative but a strategic necessity for building truly resilient societies.

The study emphasizes integrating climate-resilient pathways into national adaptation plans to ensure inclusivity. It calls for cross-sectoral coordination to address social inequality, enhance disaster risk reduction, and promote economic diversification.

As global temperatures rise, vast swathes of the global population are experiencing heat extremes that they have never faced before.

This policy briefing highlights the critical importance of engaging with advocacy and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that represent hyper-marginalised communities in disaster risk reduction (DRR) contexts.

The publication highlights the vulnerability of older persons to climate change, calling for their protection in policies. It urges a rights-based approach to ensure their safety and participation in climate action, particularly in developing regions.

An ageing global population is converging with record-shattering heat - driven by climate change. This article offers a look into scenarios where tragic outcomes could have been avoided with simple actions
