This brief focuses on COVID-19 responses targeted at strengthening risk governance – although comprehensive risk management is (or should be) the very foundation of any “green” stimulus measure and proposition by governments, multilateral organisations, academia, civil society, and other actors at the national and international level in order to achieve a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient recovery from the pandemic. The compilation shows that, to date, it is mainly international and civil society organisations pointing out the link to DRR, but some governments are highlighting the necessity to strengthen their risk governance to build forward better and prepare themselves for future shocks.
