Over time, there appears to be a general increase in natural disasters, with climate change contributing to this reality.
To The international community, including the PRC, has been making efforts to ensure that people can anticipate, survive and recover from natural disasters and that humanitarian responses meet people's psychosocial and mental health needs.
