Between 1980 and 2009, about 2% of total development assistance was allocated to disaster-related activities. Of this, the smallest share went to disaster prevention. 2015 presents an opportunity to make disaster risk management a development priority: The Millennium Development Goals and the Hyogo Framework for Action reach their target dates that year, a new climate change treaty is anticipated, and the Sustainable Development Goals proposed at Rio+20 are due by 2015.
