GFDRR helps low- and middle-income countries understand and reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change, turning technical knowledge into safe, green, and inclusive communities.
The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) is a global partnership dedicated to helping low- and middle-income countries understand and reduce their vulnerability to natural hazards and adapt to climate change. Established in 2006, GFDRR works with governments, development partners, and local communities to turn knowledge into action that saves lives, protects assets, and builds resilience.
Our approach integrates disaster risk management and climate change adaptation into development planning, helping nations build back better and create more resilient communities for the future.
The 2026–2030 Strategy responds to growing demand from governments for support in integrating disaster risk management into country policies, systems, and investments — particularly through operations financed by The World Bank. It reflects GFDRR's unique role in bridging global ambition with national and locally led action.
GFDRR works across a wide range of thematic priorities:

GFDRR, together with the World Bank Group, works with a diverse network of partners on disaster risk management. We collaborate with leading universities, the insurance sector, civil society organizations, technical agencies, and bilateral and multilateral institutions. These strategic partnerships amplify our impact and bring together expertise from across the globe to build resilience in vulnerable countries.
Disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation aren't just development goals—they're pathways to protecting lives, preserving livelihoods, and building thriving communities for generations to come.
