Interconnected Disaster Risks: Turning Over a New Leaf

The 2025 Interconnected Disaster Risks report, Turning Over a New Leaf, calls for transformative societal changes to address escalating global crises. It outlines five essential shifts: rethinking waste, realigning with nature, reconsidering responsibility, reimagining the future, and redefining value to prioritize planetary health over economic growth. The report introduces the Theory of Deep Change, advocating for systemic transformation by addressing underlying values and assumptions, arguing that incremental changes are insufficient. It envisions a future where society not only reduces disaster risks but thrives by reshaping societal norms, values, and structures for long-term resilience and sustainability.
