This has reshaped and expanded the Asia-Pacific riskscape.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The <em>Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021 </em>addresses the complexity of these converging and cascading risks by analysing natural and biological hazards simultaneously. It presents the impacts of these risks on populations and infrastructure under current, moderate and worst-case climate change scenarios. The <em>Report </em>estimates that annual economic losses arising from such cascading risks could almost double under the worst-case climate change scenario.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The <em>Report </em>emphasises that in an increasingly risky world all these hazards need to be considered not just as individual threats, but also in relation to the larger systems that they are likely to disrupt. Hence, with the help of advanced technologies, policymakers must consider more complex and varied future scenarios.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Finally, the <em>Report </em>makes the case for more purposeful and systemic national action plans. It also highlights areas where subregional cooperation can be strengthened and serve as building blocks of a regional strategy for disaster, climate and health resilience.</p> <h3 class="text-align-justify"><strong><a href="https://www.unescap.org/kp/2021/asia-pacific-disaster-report-2021"><span style="color:#006400;">Download</span></a></strong></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg2-zero-hunger" hreflang="en">SDG2 Zero Hunger</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg3-good-health-and-well-being" hreflang="en">SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg6-clean-water-and-sanitation" hreflang="en">SDG6 Clean Water and Sanitation</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg11-sustainable-cities-and-communities" hreflang="en">SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/thematic-areas/Disaster-Risk-Reduction-and-Resilience" hreflang="en">Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-11/Asia-Pacific%20Trade%20Disaster%20Report%202021.png" width="330" height="470" alt="Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/asia-pacific-disaster-report-2021-0" data-a2a-title="Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2021"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Sun, 31 Oct 2021 21:44:28 +0000 cmortelliti 2034 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org World Food Day 2021 http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/events/world-food-day-2021 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">World Food Day 2021</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Wed, 06/10/2021</span> <div class="field field--name-field-dates field--type-daterange field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2021-10-16T12:00:00Z" class="datetime">Sat, 16/10/2021</time></div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2021-10/World%20Food%20Day_0.png" width="1342" height="467" alt="Event Banner" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">An agri-food system is a complex term that may seem far from your reality, but do you know our lives depend on them? Every time you eat, you participate in the system. The food we choose and the way we produce, prepare, cook and store it make us an integral and active part of the way in which an agri-food system works. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">A sustainable agri-food system is one in which a variety of sufficient, nutritious and safe foods is available at an affordable price to everyone, and nobody is hungry or suffers from any form of malnutrition. The shelves are stocked at the local market or food store, but less food is wasted and the food supply chain is more resilient to shocks such as extreme weather, price spikes or pandemics, all while limiting, rather than worsening, environmental degradation or climate change. In fact, sustainable agri-food systems deliver food security and nutrition for all, without compromising the economic, social and environmental bases, for generations to come. They lead to better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life for all. </p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>See <a href="http://www.fao.org/world-food-day/about/en/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">more</span></a>...</strong><br /><u><a href="http://www.fao.org/world-food-day/about/en/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">http://www.fao.org/world-food-day/about/en/</span></a></u></p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg2-zero-hunger" hreflang="en">SDG2 Zero Hunger</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg3-good-health-and-well-being" hreflang="en">SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg12-responsible-consumption-and-production" hreflang="en">SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production</a></div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/events/world-food-day-2021" data-a2a-title="World Food Day 2021"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Wed, 06 Oct 2021 16:20:12 +0000 cmortelliti 2028 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Publication-Making Peace with Nature A scientific blueprint to tackle the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergencies http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/publication-making-peace-nature-scientific-blueprint-tackle-climate-biodiversity-and <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Publication-Making Peace with Nature A scientific blueprint to tackle the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergencies</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Mon, 27/09/2021</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">Part I of the report addresses how the current expansive mode of development degrades and exceeds the Earth’s finite capacity to sustain human well-being.
