Climate disasters worsen as authoritarian regimes hide risks from neighbours
Original: Climate disasters are getting worse – risks escalate when authoritarian regimes keep neighbours in the dark
Commentary argues that climate disasters are intensifying and that authoritarian governments make the problem more dangerous by withholding information from neighbouring countries. When regimes suppress data on floods, droughts or dam management, downstream and cross-border communities cannot prepare, so the same hazard produces greater loss of life and damage. The piece calls attention to transparency between states as an underappreciated factor in disaster risk.
Why now: Rising climate disasters are keeping the link between political transparency and disaster risk in public debate.
