Integrating disaster prevention into development planning

  • Strengthening settlements planning and management in disaster-prone areas

Description

Integrating disaster prevention into development planning involves systematically embedding risk assessment, mitigation measures, and resilience-building into all stages of policy-making and project design. This strategy ensures that infrastructure, land use, and resource management decisions proactively reduce vulnerability to natural and human-made hazards. By prioritizing prevention, it minimizes loss of life, economic disruption, and environmental damage, transforming reactive emergency responses into sustainable, long-term solutions for safer, more resilient communities.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities.
