I have had the pleasure to work with The Centre for Disaster Protection for a little over 6 months, doing live illustration and producing editorial visuals for their communication effort. The centre finds and shares better ways to prepare for, and respond to disasters. This can significantly limit the effect disasters have on people’s everyday lives, and on countries’ long-term development. They push for reform of an international crisis financing system that is very clearly no longer fit for purpose.
They recently introduced their short policy on debt pause clauses, instruments for climate resilient debt instruments – basically a debt freeze for disaster-hit countries. They explain their findings and thoughts in this article that I had the pleasure to illustrate.
