TOWARDS RISK-RESILIENT DEVELOPMENT: TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS

AND NATURAL CONSTRAINTS

Resolution adopted unanimously by the 130th IPU Assembly

(Geneva, 20 March 2014)

The 130th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union,

Expressing deep concern at the continued mounting impact and risk of disasters worldwide, which

threaten people’s lives and livelihoods, derail socio-economic development and damage the

environment,

Noting that development patterns, including poorly planned and managed urbanization, population

growth in high-risk areas, endemic poverty, weak governance and institutions, and environmental

degradation, are important drivers of disaster risk,

Also noting that disasters, especially those resulting from climate change and exacerbated by

population growth and distribution and other factors, such as poor use and management of

resources, have been identified by the international community, for instance in the Outcome

Document of the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), as major

challenges for sustainable development,

Reaffirming the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005–2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and

Communities to Disaster, and underscoring the need to accelerate its implementation at

international, regional, national and particularly local level,

Recognizing the urgent need to integrate and build stronger linkages between policies and

programmes relating to disaster risk reduction and disaster recovery, climate change, long-term

economic and social development, urban planning, demographic dynamics and environmental

protection, so as to be able to address the underlying causes of disaster risk,

Also recognizing that global population growth, which is expected to continue for several more

decades, and demographic distribution, especially increased population density and urbanization,

heighten vulnerability to disasters and that the demographic factor has a direct effect on food

security and self-sufficiency in areas that are prone to drought-induced famine and malnutrition,

Underscoring that demographic dynamics are a significant contributor to climate change and

disaster risk insofar as they place additional stress on natural resources, heighten the vulnerability of
