KINGSTON, Jamaica – UNITED Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a warning to the world’s business community yesterday that, we believe, is most pertinent to Jamaica and indeed our sister Caribbean states.
According to Mr Ban, economic losses linked to disasters are “out of control” and will continue to escalate unless disaster risk management becomes a core part of business investment strategies.
The UN secretary general made the observation in his address at the launch of what was described as a groundbreaking new report from the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR).
