UNESCO Chair Summer Program
• The world is at a tipping point and the challenges before us are vast. Risks as perceived by communities are complex and inter-linked.
• At the end of 2014, there were over 59.5 million people who were internally displaced or living as refugees, the greatest number since World War II1.
• The average length of displacement is 17 years - a generation2.
• While disaster death tolls are slowly declining (on the whole), the numbers of affected people, destroyed livelihoods and economic losses are growing.
• Together, well coordinated response plan and response
preparedness plan cover a spectrum of risks issues towards communities and places to achieve resilience.
