Direct economic loss averages 0.3% of global GDP of reporting countries during 2015-2023.
Direct economic loss worldwide has been reported to exceed US$ 1.1 trillion in total during 2015-2023.
Target D: Disaster damage to critical infrastructure and disruption of basic services
From 2015 to 2023, 92,199 critical infrastructure units and facilities, including schools and hospitals, were damaged or destroyed each year due to disasters.
In the same period, more than 1.6 million educational, health, and other basic services were disrupted by disasters each year.
Target E: National and local disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies
131 countries (two-third of countries in the world) have reported having national disaster risk reduction strategies, compared to only 57 in 2015.
110 countries have reported having local disaster risk reduction strategies. Average percentage of local governments having such strategies in these countries is 73%.
Target F: International cooperation for disaster risk reduction
International cooperation for developing countries remains limited, as developing countries reported US$ 1 billion of official development assistance (ODA) plus other official flows for supporting disaster risk reduction actions in 2023.
From 2005 to 2023, 1,900 programmes and initiatives on science, technology and innovation transfer in disaster risk reduction were reported. In the same period, 34,000 instances of capacity development on disaster risk reduction were reported.
Target G: Multi-hazard early warning systems (MHEWS)
113 countries reported having MHEWS, compared to only 54 countries in 2015.
69 countries reported having MHEWS have self-assessed their MHEWS with “limited to moderate” achievement, 44 countries self-scored to have “substantial to comprehensive” achievement.
