Zimbabwe is vulnerable to disaster risks. To improve the Disaster Risk governance framework. Gvt should enact a new Disaster Risk Management bill. #YouthVulnerability You(th)Adapt Global Platform Zimbabwe

Climate risks disproportionately affect marginalized groups like people with disabilities, youth & women, #YouthVulnerability. To address this, we need to involve youth in decision-making spaces & break down fragmented coordination mechanisms for a more collaborative approach.

Disasters worsen existing inequalities in Zimbabwe. It's time for equitable disaster risk management that prioritizes all regardless of gender, age, and socioeconomic status. #YouthVulnerabilities

During disasters, marginalized groups are more vulnerable to various types of abuse. As such, robust safeguarding mechanisms are needed to protect these groups. #YouthVulnerability

Chipinge & Binga's history is marked by recurring climate hazards. For instance, Chipinge regularly experiences cyclones, droughts, floods & and landslides, which have left lasting impacts. My call to action is for everyone to #ACTonDRMBill to reduce #YouthVulnerability

Some action is being undertaken in disaster risk management. However, #ACTonDRMBill should be expedited to improve adaptation and resilience at grassroots. #YouthVulnerability

Rights matter in DRM. It is important to support rights awareness campaigns to mitigate abuse, especially of #YouthVulnerability

The government should leverage technology to improve DRM. #YouthVulnerability #ACTonDRMBill

Without robust and inclusive disaster risk management process. Marginalized communities will remain vulnerable to climate-related risks. #YouthVulnerability #ACTonDRM
