    Live from Davos: Working together to prepare for — and prevent — disasters

    DAVOS, Switzerland — In 2017, the world’s emergency responders were met with an unprecedented number of crises. Ongoing conflict, rampant food insecurity, and catastrophic natural disasters often overwhelmed the capacity of humanitarian agencies to respond.

    In an era where resources for humanitarian emergencies are increasingly stretched, collaboration among responders to prepare for and prevent these disasters may be more important than ever.

    Live from the World Economic Forum in Davos, join Devex and the Global Humanitarian Lab for a live 360 interview with leaders responsible for managing the world’s crises. Global decision-makers in emergency coordination spanning international institutions, the private sector, and NGOs will share why cross-sector collaboration is integral to successful prevention and preparedness in crisis management — and how the sector can work together more effectively.
