Investing in Resilience 2016

An introductory statement by the first Executive Director of the Global Resilience Partnership, outlining the organization's goal to shift global development and humanitarian assistance toward a proactive resilience mindset to protect vulnerable communities from disasters and poverty.

• The Global Resilience Partnership aims to transform global development and humanitarian assistance by promoting a 'resilience mindset' that is proactive and focuses on root causes, systematic changes, and long-term impacts to prevent disasters from trapping people in poverty.
• Resilience is described as essential for meeting global objectives, including the eradication of hunger and the end of extreme poverty, and requires innovation and partnerships across government, civil society, and the private sector.
• The Paris Agreement, signed by 195 countries following COP21, is viewed as a significant first step in recognizing the importance of resilience against interrelated challenges like population growth, food security, and climate change.
