Increased resilience protects lives, homes and communities and is a smart investment in a sustainable future. A $1 investment in adaptation and risk reduction saves between $2 and $11 in post-disaster recovery and reconstruction (CSIRO, 2021). 90% of Australian homes are not climate adapted. We are currently spending around 97% on disaster response and recovery and just 3% on resilience.

It’s time for urgent, rapid change.

Support Our Projects

The Resilient Building Council creates new systems to support effective and efficient adaptation action. Our 97-3 campaign advocates for an increase in resilience investment from 3% of disaster funding to 50% by 2025. Every dollar spent to reduce vulnerability before a disaster can save up to $11 in response and recovery costs. All governments, industries, agencies and communities can join the campaign to break the disaster cycle.
