UN urges more investments on disaster risk management

UNITED Nations (UN) Special Rep. Margareta Wahlstrom for Disaster Risk Reduction called on government to increase its investments and efforts towards disaster risk management in view of climate change, which she calls a disaster itself.

Speaking at the Department of Science and Technology’s Roadmap on Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction Presentation in Quezon City on Friday, Wahlstrom asked the concerned government agencies to “help us understand where we will be 40 years from now in terms of disaster management.”
