The Centre for Disaster Protection has launched “Labs,” an innovative platform designed to enhance disaster preparedness and financing for governments. Headed by Conor Meenan, Labs aims to tackle the challenges of modern disasters, which traditional funding models struggle to address. By collaborating with decision-makers and experts, Labs will create tools tailored to real-world needs, focusing on financial risk assessment and efficient financing strategies. Starting in 2026, Labs will debut with projects aimed at quantifying disaster exposure and developing effective financing triggers. This initiative reflects a bold, open approach to building global resilience in the face of increasing disaster complexity.
