The pandemic is an unprecedented wake-up call that has exposed the fragility of our interconnected world. The deep interdependence of our systems can rapidly turn a local crisis into a global emergency, severely affecting economies, societies, and the environment. A sustainable development is put under high pressure during emergencies, potentially slowing down the path to peace and prosperity for people and the planet. An efficient and globally shared set of policies, aimed at tackling global emergencies timely and proactively, is therefore fundamental for Governments and businesses around the world to protect people, economies, jobs, cities and all crucial assets from potential disaster.
The commitment of the B20 Italy is to convey recommendations and policy actions through which Governments can empower the business community to mitigate and reduce the risks and consequences associated with major global emergencies, while strengthening the adherence to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, to help reshape the future in a global partnership.
