2026 Predictions: How Will Climate Disasters Be Addressed?
The DRI International Future Vision Committee has released its 11th Annual Predictions Report, looking ahead to 2026 and its impact on the resilience community. Download the complete report free from the DRI Library, and read on for potential response to climate-caused disasters from world governments.
Prediction 4: Climate-related disasters will continue to increase as countries are unable to reduce their carbon emissions sufficiently. Governments will need to focus their attention on practical damage limitation measures but may be reluctant to do so.
Despite widespread knowledge of the increase in global adverse weather disasters, political acceptance of their relation to climate change is limited: France has seen planning on environmental projects halted since 202314, with other nations following similar strategies. Other global administrations are also placing climate low on their political agendas, often because governments want to deliver greater wealth and prosperity in their short term in office, and climate change is still viewed as something for the future15. The 2015 Paris Agreement, with the aim of limiting global warming to below 2C, has never looked so fragile.
Furthermore, even if governments and administrations do set targets, translating these into action requires institutional capability, inter-governmental coordination, financing, and accountability – all, or some, of which are likely to be weak16.
The 2025 Paris Agreement is based on non-binding, self-determined national pledges, and does not have a means of penalizing countries that do not comply. With countries able to remove themselves from the agreement with just a year’s notice, mandatory global initiatives are sorely needed – but will only be effective if countries fully endorse and implement them.
Climate adaptation measures will be very expensive, but all governments will now need to seriously work towards them – they cannot rely on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to provide the solution.
