Urgent call: new strategies against multiple global crises

global challenges and their local effects: An analysis of the world risk overlock 2024

The publication of the world risk over 2024 helps through the alliance Development (Beh) and the Institute for Peace Security Law and Humanitarian International Law (IFHV) not only shows the urgency of new strategies in the field of crisis prevention, but also illuminates the profound effects that have these global crises on local communities. The report, which focuses on the interactions between climate change, geopolitical conflicts and health crises, serves as a wake -up call to evaluate and improve preventive measures.

worldwide outlook on crises

The World Risk Index 2024 evaluates the risks of disasters in 193 countries and captures over 99 percent of the world's population. A central result shows that the well -known risk spots continue to be in America and Asia's regions, but are increasingly also endangered by countries with high climate sensitivity and vulnerable structures. This requires not only international cooperation, but also a rethink in the risk assessment on site.

Local effects and needs

The data recognizes that regions in Central Africa, North Africa, South Asia and parts of Latin America suffer from extreme weather conditions and persistent conflicts. The need for targeted support and integrated approaches in disaster risk management is essential here. The report emphasizes that local communities are at the forefront and often do not have the necessary resources in order to react appropriately to these challenges.

Immediate action required

dr. Ilona Auer Frege, Managing Director of Bündnis Development helps, draws attention to the urgent need: "We now have to act to cope with these threats." The observations in the report make it clear that the traditional approaches to coping with crisis are not sufficient in numerous cases. Again and again there is a collapse of international help, which also tightens the location on site.

Germany in international comparison

While Germany has improved slightly and is 98 in the risk value, which positions in the global midfield, this status illustrates the need for increased actions to minimize risks. The report calls for comprehensive efforts to increase the resistance of society and to clarify how to deal with crises better.

Outlook and availability of the report

The complete world risk 2024 will be available online on September 9, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. and will be offered as a free print version. It is expected that the results of the report will encourage both decision -makers and the public for discussion and implementation of innovative solutions.

FAZIT

The analysis of the world risk over 2024 not only opens up a look at the current global challenges, but also illustrates the importance of how local communities are able to fight against these crises. The threats can only be counteracted effectively through cooperation and determined action.
