Yes, it is this report https://library.wmo.int/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=21930#.Y7Rz_OzP1mq with the press release at https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/weather-related-disasters-increase-over-past-50-years-causing-more-damage-fewer

The analysis is based on data from EM-DAT which has numerous problems. I detail some at https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/when-disaster-strikes meaning that I am cautious about the trends described.

More details on understanding and tabulating disaster deaths are at https://engelsbergideas.com/essays/when-disaster-strikes
Thoughts are welcome!
