From the Prevention Web Team:
The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is the main global forum on
disaster risk reduction.
At its first session in June 2007, it brought together representatives of
governments, UN agencies, regional bodies, international financial
institutions, civil society, the private sector and the scientific and
academic communities to raise awareness on disaster risk, to share
experience and to guide the ISDR system with a view to supporting countries
to implement the Hyogo Framework for Action.
The second session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is
scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, during the week of 15 - 19
June 2009.
Further information on the 2009 session will become available in the coming
months.
