The Centre for Disaster Protection, an independent organisation working to strengthen the way the global system finances responses to climate and disaster shocks, has published new analysis showing that pre-arranged disaster risk finance has expanded rapidly worldwide, while the poorest and most fragile countries continue to receive only a small fraction of the total.
In launching The State of Pre-Arranged Financing for Disasters 2025, the Centre for Disaster Protection reports that international pre-arranged financing reached a record USD 9.4 billion in 2024, the highest level observed to date.
According to the Centre for Disaster Protection, this sharp increase signals a growing international focus on putting financing in place before crises strike, particularly as climate impacts intensify and humanitarian and development budgets become more constrained.
