Number of natural disasters recorded worldwide 1900-2025

Published by Zeynep Dierks, Jun 4, 2026

This statistic represents the number of natural disasters recorded annually worldwide from 1900 to 2025. Since the 1980s, there has been a significant increase in natural disasters. In the past, small and medium-scale natural events were less frequently recorded, which can partly explain the increase observed since the 1980s. In 2025, the number of natural disasters recorded was 364. In 2022, the United States was the country most affected by natural disasters. However, it was in Europe that they were the deadliest that year, due to heat waves.
