Addressing Water-Related Disasters in an Era of Multiple Crises

Deltares has published a new flagship report for the High-level Experts and Leaders Panel on Water and Disasters (HELP). The report was co-created with AGWA an involved authors from an international consortium of organizations.

The flagship report provides an overview of what we have achieved in the last decade in dealing with water-related disasters and what we have learned from past events. This includes the lessons from global responses to Covid-19. It recommends a number of broader shifts around the preparation, communication, and financing for water-related disasters. This can not only save lives, but can also help countries better position economies to avoid major shocks, while simultaneously advancing their goals and commitments around climate adaptation and sustainable development.
