World Risk Poll Resilience Index webinar

The 2024 World Risk Poll Resilience Index

To mark the launch of the recently published World Risk Poll Resilience Index, the GNDR co-hosted a webinar in partnership with the Lloyd’s Register Foundation.

Based on around 145,000 interviews conducted in 143 countries, the Index provides a unique data resource for understanding the resilience and vulnerabilities of countries and communities around the world.

We were joined by an international panel of disaster risk reduction and resilience experts, including GNDR members from Nigeria and India, who explored how levels of resilience have changed around the world since the previous Resilience Index was published in 2022. They also considered what the findings mean for civil society organisations on the frontline of disaster.
