Many countries are increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters that can erase decades of development and exacerbate poverty and inequality. Through its global network, UNDP seeks out and shares innovative approaches to crisis prevention, early warning and conflict resolution to help bridge the gap between emergency relief and long-term development. The strengthening of disaster
