Anybody on earth will be hit by disasters twice
in his/her life time on average, mostly by
water-related disasters, sometimes fatal.
The world has 
lost 2.7 trillion USD 
in 20 years (1995-
2015) by disasters. 70 % of the loss by water-related
disasters
 
“Water and Disasters” is strongly linked to
poverty issue

70% of countries think disasters have become
more important among the government priorities
 
Six Targets of SDG6
 
Comprehensive goals and targets on water
The targets are related to other development agenda such
as health, food, education, and gender
Each of Targets has indicator(s) and monitoring agencies
 
Four Priorities for Action of Sendai
Framework
 
1.
Understanding disaster risk.
2.
Strengthening disaster risk governance
to manage disaster risk.
3.
Investing in disaster risk reduction for
resilience.
4.
Enhancing disaster preparedness for
effective response and to “Build Back
Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and
reconstruction.
 
Principles on Investment and Financing for Water-
related Disaster Risk Reduction
 
Background
“Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience” as one of
the four priority actions in the Sendai Framework
“By 2030, significantly reduce …substantially decrease the
direct economic losses caused by disasters, including water-
related disasters…” as SDG Target 11.5
“We commit to promote disaster risk reduction and
management, through supporting the development of
disaster risk reduction strategies and periodical assessments
of disaster including standards for risk levels (HABITAT III)

HEADLINE RECOMMENDATION
Shift focus of disaster management from
response to preparedness and resilience
DETAILED RECOMMENDATIONS
 
24
 
Financing for and investment in water-related
DRR and resilience should be doubled within the
next five years.
“Principles on Investment and Financing” should
be used to make effective use of this increased
investment and could help increasing
investments in countries.
 
Challenges “the Principle” need to address
 
Sometimes the biggest hurdle is convincing the government to
decide and commit to financing infrastructure (USACE)
Risk prevention should be integrated with long-term planning and
create opportunities for synergies with planned investments
(Netherlands)
Investment for “disaster prevention” needs to be strengthened for
protection of economic development gains and consistent progress
of the economic growth. (Japan)
There is a need for long term financing strategies to improve
resilience …particularly at the national government level. (OECD)
It is also important to look into innovative financing. Insurance
industry is least developed in developing countries. (UNESCAP)
Organizations such as donors will need to increase the amount of
investment. (KOICA)
Disaster risk reduction is not merely a cost, but an investment for
stronger development which pays off in the future. (JICA)
 
 
 
25
 
Objectives of the Principle
 
Build convincing arguments and logics (e.g. addressed
to Finance Ministry) that disaster risk reduction pays
off
Establish standardized methodology to analyze cost
of water-related disasters, particularly indirect cost
Create portfolio of innovative/alternative financing
for water-related disaster risk reduction
Promote identifying and sharing good practices on
financing  and investing in water-related DRR
Recommend legal/administrative/budgetary system
that ensures long-term financial flow for DRR
investment
Recommend strategies to make the above to happen
in countries
