In 2010/11, three major natural disasters took place that affected more than 25 million people. As a result, there are currently more than 29 million people suffering from chronic malnourishment. Islamic Relief feel that it is time for a change in global strategy – shifting away from reactive aid to equipping people and communities with the skills and tools they need to prepare for and protect themselves against disaster.
Speakers: Martin Cottingham (Author, Feeling the Heat) Elias Fon (Islamic Relief), Deborah Doane (Director, World Development Movement), Dr. Benedetta Rossi (University of Birmingham)
Chair: Becky Slack (New Statesman)
