3 UNISDR Africa vision statement: Catalyse, facilitate and mobilise the commitment and resources of national, subregional, regional and international stakeholders to build the resilience of nations and communities to disasters I

4 Common root causes > Risk components Natural and human-induced hazards e.g.: geological, hydro-meteorological hazards, land degradation, CC, etc. Vision HAZARDS + EXTREME EVENTS I Socio-economic economic: : poverty, unplanned urban growth, lack of awareness and institutional capacities... Physical: : insufficient land use planning, housing, infrastructures located in hazard prone areas... Environmental impact ecosystem degradation; coastal, watershed, marshlands ), etc. VULNERABILITY / Capacities Examples: Haiti earthquake (Jan. 2010), Pakistan floods (Aug. 2010) Can sustainable development be achieved without taking into account the risk to natural hazards? No, so we need to address the root-causes to vulnerability.
