When disasters and conflicts collide

The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) interrogated disaster risk reduction financing, policy and programming to understand the role of conflict, fragility and violence in disaster risk. Our review of over 50 years of research shows how conflicts are deeply embedded in societies and can exacerbate vulnerability to natural hazards.

We developed an understanding of what types of disaster risk reduction actions are appropriate and viable in different conflict contexts through four case studies in Afghanistan, Chad, Colombia and Lebanon to ensure we really can ‘leave no one behind’.
