The estimated insured losses from disasters are a staggering US $120 billion — but this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Poorer countries invariably suffer much greater losses as a proportion of their overall economic wealth.

RT @MialyRann: Thanks a lot David for this public recognition! It’s my 10th year volunteering for @IPBES. Being part of IPBES has influenced my work a lot, from aiming to do policy-relevant research for my PhD and Postdoc to now working as an intermediary facilitating science-policy initiatives

It was a great moment at the #WBF2024 conference dinner announcing the prize, realizing how many #IPBES participants we were! And I only know some!

And by the topics at the conference, we'll welcome many new authors and participants in the future!!
