Natural disasters disrupt the financial and economic infrastructure and stability, particularly in small or low-income countries and those concentrated in a single industry. The authors recommend the G20 and broader international community support financial and economic resilience in the face of increasing natural disasters. Critical interventions for support include improved local resilience through early warning and response mechanisms and economic diversification initiatives; rapid stimulation of local businesses in critical industries; and coordination of international financial markets in support of local economies.
