ODI is an independent, global think tank, established in 1960, working for a sustainable and peaceful world in which every person thrives.

ODI’s Global Risk and Resilience Programme pioneers policy-driven research on the nexus between new and emerging risks to reduce vulnerability and realise a sustainable future for all. The programme’s work covers a broad spectrum of topics including:

• Climate resilient economic transformations
• Financing for resilience
• Disasters and conflict in a changing climate
• Equity and inclusion in multi-hazard contexts
• Risk-informed transitions

The programme promotes a systemic, inclusive, and just approach to understanding emerging risks, managing uncertainty, and mainstreaming resilience across the international development community and into wider socioeconomic development agendas, policy and planning.

ODI provides research, analysis and policy advice on the distribution of risk, impact of climate, weather extremes and other hazards on poverty and development, and the political economy of managing risk and building resilience.  Specific areas of technical support include:

• Climate and disaster risk management and finance
• Climate adaptation planning
• Anticipatory action
• Forecast based early-action and financing
• Transition risk planning and implementation
• Technical assistance that supports analyses of data and information e.g., multi-hazard risk, modelling, risk profiling, social protection strategies 
• Technical assistance that supports design and implementation of projects on Loss and Damage e.g., nature-based solutions
