Asian Disaster Preparedness Center’s case study on private sector engagement in disaster risk reduction was published in BSR’s recently launched research report entitled Climate Resilience and the Role of the Private Sector in Thailand.

The report highlights the private sector’s critical role in building resilience and adaptive capacity in the face of climate-related natural hazards. Supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, the publication captures four case studies that discuss climate resilience in the context of Thailand.

“Resilient businesses are crucial parts of safer communities and societies. The long-term economic efficiency of investment in disaster risk reduction has become very evident in recent years,” states Mr. Aslam Perwaiz, Head of ADPC’s Disaster Risk Management Systems Department, in the report.

The full report is available on BSR’s website.
