UNV. The power of ENGAGEMENT: volunteerism and disaster risk reduction in view of the post-2015 agenda

Language

People’s wellbeing is UNV’s ultimate goal. In the last decade, almost one million people have been killed by disasters and more than one trillion dollars have been lost. Yet only 1% of international aid is spent to minimize the impact of these disasters. Every dollar invested into disaster preparedness saves seven dollars in disaster aftermath. Volunteers are at the forefront of tackling the emergency caused by disasters. Every person is a volunteer. Every dollar invested on volunteers’ preparedness for DRR saves lives.
