Harnessing Earth System Science, Technology and Services to reduce Disaster Risk – WMO contributions
Bulletin nº Vol 71 (1) - 2022
Theme: Disaster risk reduction
21
Publish Date: 21 March 2022
Over the past 50 years, (1970-2019), a weather, climate or water-related disaster has occurred on average every day – taking the lives of 115 people and causing US$ 202 million in losses daily.
Harnessing Earth System Science, Technology and Services to reduce Disaster Risk – WMO contributions
