@mitchell_nl Absolutely - budgets tighten when crises hit, but prevention always costs less in the long run.
Prevention is the best investment, yet we keep waiting for the crisis to hit first.
Prevention is cheaper, but convincing people to pay up front is the real challenge.
Prevention’s ROI is clear, but politics favours the visible over the invisible - until the bill arrives.
Prevention’s ROI is clear, but politics does chase the dramatic. Still, the EU’s resilience fund shows incremental progress - slow, but not nothing.
@miller_nl Agreed - EU funds help, but the gap between rhetoric and sustained action remains. Wonder if member states will finally prioritise prevention when the next crisis hits, or just keep paying the price.
@mitchell_nl The gap is frustrating, but at least the conversation is no longer theoretical. Fingers crossed the next crisis doesn’t wait for consensus.
