The concentration of capital generates social and territorial inequalities. The world is nearing what can be considered absolute levels of inequality, and sectors and territories without comparative advantages for capital accumulation are being left behind. In those areas, disaster risk is associated with an absence of development characterized by low levels of investment in risk-reducing infrastructure, an absence of social and environmental protection, and rural and urban poverty.
