Every dollar spent on strategic flood resilience upgrades could avoid at least US $62 in flood restoration costs Flood resilience is a highly cost-effective investment for flood-prone areas, with costs significantly lower than those of disruption & repair #COP27 #Water4Climate

Roughly 90% of #climate disasters are water-related, and it's the most vulnerable who will bear the brunt of this #emergency. How we support them matters. Climate Pledges Are Falling Short, and a Chaotic Future Looks More Like Reality - NYT.
