Background
Data on the cost of disasters are crucial for enabling evidence-based investments in disaster risk reduction. When collected over multiple years, disaster loss data can help uncover the effectiveness of investments and highlight where changes in risk management policy are necessary to mitigate the negative impacts of disasters.

Objectives This event aimed to further existing efforts for improving disaster loss data collection in EU member and non-EU OECD countries and to facilitate the exchange on the progress already made. Against the backdrop of the Open-ended Intergovernmental Expert Working Group (OIEWG) on Indicators and Terminology for Disaster Risk Reduction for the Sendai Framework concluding in November 2016, the joint expert meeting also was a platform for informing the final global negotiations. With a forward looking perspective, the meeting included discussions on data needs for the Paris Agreement and ex-ante economic loss modelling approaches, and their reliance on ex post loss data collection.
