Posted:  05/12/21 Seoul, Republic of Korea – The scale and frequency of natural disasters has noticeably increased in recent years worldwide. The growing needs and challenges necessitate more extensive collaboration beyond the traditional boundary of disaster response and call for innovative approaches and solutions including the engagement of the private sector. The role of the private sector is becoming a critical part of global efforts to reduce risks and enhance the effectiveness of interventions, by providing not only financial resources but also advanced technologies and technical expertise. The Asia Pacific region, in particular, shows great potential for such collaboration. While being one of the most affected and vulnerable regions to climate hazards and natural disasters, it is also home to a thriving private sector which presents various untapped potential for innovative partnership across borders.
