90% of Australian homes are not climate adapted.

Natural disasters are forecast to cost Australians $1.2 trillion over the next forty years

Urgent action is required to adapt the built environment to provide safe, healthy, sustainable and insurable homes.

However, we are currently spending around 97% on disaster response and recovery and just 3% on resilience.  

Even though we know that every $1 invested in disaster resilience can save up to $11 in recovery costs. (CSIRO, 2021)

If we don’t flip this investment ratio around, our communities are going to suffer severe economic, social and psychological damage.

The problem is clear. The solution is clear.

The 97-3 campaign calls for:

Public & private sector commitment to increase resilience spending from 3% to 50% of disaster funding budgets by 2027

Commitment from federal and state governments to stimulate resilience investment through policy & investment levers

Establishment of national, open access risk data to support effective & efficient resilience investment & action
