ABOUT THE SERIES:

The Resilience Dialogue series was launched in 2011 when major development and humanitarian partners meeting at the World Bank agreed to institutionalize a series of events on the margins of the WBG-IMF Annual and Spring Meetings to monitor progress on the resilience agenda. With 11 successful events and dozens of high-level participants from country governments and major development agencies, the Resilience Dialogue series brings awareness and focused policy advocacy to issues within the field of disaster risk management, including financing, partnerships, innovation, technology, preparedness, institutional capacity and more. These highly visible flagship events helped ensure climate and disaster resilience remains at the forefront of these important conversations.
