Disasters affect the security of people and nations. Their impact can cross borders and transboundary co-operation is often required to address related challenges. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and scale of disasters. The OSCE with its comprehensive approach to security plays an important role in strengthening resilience of communities, states and regions.
