🌊 How can cities prepare for both too much and too little water?

Flooding and water scarcity are increasingly putting people, infrastructure, public services and local economies across Europe and Central Asia under pressure.

The new Waves of Change report brings together experiences from cities across the region to show how risk-informed planning can turn into action, and what is still needed to build more resilient urban water systems.

From local experience to lessons that can be shared and scaled, the report offers a practical resource for cities responding to a changing climate.

🛟Saving lives is measurable progress. But disasters are affecting more people, destroying more infrastructure, and costing more each year – and the financing to reverse that trend remains far short of what's needed.

Here's where things stood by October 2024:
✅ On track
🟢 Target A: Disaster-related deaths fell 51% per 100,000 population (2005–2014 vs 2015–2023)
🟢 Target E: 131 countries had national DRR strategies, up from 57 in 2015

⏳ Some progress
🟡 Target G: Countries with multi-hazard early warning systems more than doubled – from 54 to 113
🟡 Target F: 34,000 capacity development instances recorded; but DRR financing remained limited at US$ 1 billion ODA in 2023

⚠️ Not on track
🔴 Target B: Disaster-affected population rose 75% per 100,000
🔴 Target C: Direct losses exceeded US$ 1.1 trillion during 2015–2023
🔴 Target D: Over 92,000 critical facilities damaged or destroyed annually

The next five years will be critical for meeting the ambition of the Sendai Framework.
