UNDRR has collaborated with CEPREDENAC and the COSEFIN to enhance disaster risk reduction financing across Central America and the Dominican Republic.

Bangladesh has developed a comprehensive, multi-hazard national disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategy that aims to enhance the country's resilience to natural hazards and climate-induced disasters.

Situated in the southeastern part of Africa, Mozambique is susceptible to various disasters including floods, droughts and tropical cyclones (TCs) exacerbated by its coastal geography and variable climate patterns.

Lao PDR faces increasing occurrences of extreme weather events, including storms, tropical cyclones, floods, and landslides as well as droughts, heatwaves and earthquakes.

Fiji is a SIDS and is facing a range of climate change impacts, including sea-level rise, saltwater intrusion, ocean acidification, coral bleaching and changing rainfall patterns.

Ethiopia is a LDC and LLDC in East Africa. It’s climate is traditionally divided into 3 zones: Dega area with its alpine vegetated cool zones; Woina Dega zone, which is temperate; and the Qola zone which is hot and encompasses tropical and arid regions

Antigua and Barbuda is a SIDS which is highly vulnerable and exposed to natural, social and socio-natural hazards, particularly hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes and tsunamis.

This contribution details the successes and challenges encountered by those currently pushing for better warning from non-seismically induced tsunamis.
