ESCAP Trust Fund for Tsunami, Disaster and Climate Preparedness – 20 Years of Collective Resilience

Marking two decades since the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, we remind ourselves of the immense power of nature and the urgent need for global cooperation in disaster preparedness. The establishment of the ESCAP Multi-Donor Trust Fund for Tsunami, Disaster and Climate Preparedness following this event signified a crucial step towards building collective resilience. This vital funding mechanism has played a pivotal role in strengthening early warning systems and empowering coastal communities, facilitating the sharing of knowledge and expertise among nations. By fostering a culture of disaster resilience through shared early warning solutions, the Trust Fund exemplifies the power of international collaboration in mitigating the impacts of future disasters.
