Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction

The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is an international conference held every two years, organized by the United Nations. Its purpose is to bring together governments, organizations, and communities to discuss ways to reduce the risks of disasters, like floods or earthquakes. Participants share ideas, strategies, and best practices to better prepare for and respond to these events. By fostering collaboration and innovation, the Global Platform aims to improve resilience and protect lives and livelihoods, helping societies better withstand and recover from natural disasters.
