FIFTH EDITION OF THE WORLD RECONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE (WRC5)

Advancing the dialogue on disaster recovery and reconstruction

The Fifth Edition of the World Reconstruction Conference (WRC5) was held in Indonesia on 23-24 May 2022, during the preparatory days of the seventh session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction. The central theme of the WRC5 was “Reconstructing for a sustainable future: Building resilience through recovery in a COVID-19 Transformed World”. The conference was organized under three sub-themes:

  • Addressing the social and economic impact of Covid-19 pandemic on “hard-won” development gains;
  • Social, infrastructural and economic recovery from disasters as an opportunity to reset the development pathway towards a greener and more resilient future;
  • Rethinking recovery governance models, including planning, financing and managing recovery from complex and interconnected disaster-conflict events in the Covid-19 transformed world. 

The WRC5 was jointly hosted by UNDP, the World Bank (Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, GFDRR) and UNDRR under the umbrella of International Recovery Platform (IRP). It brought together participants from national and local governments, civil society, the private sector, academia and international organizations from around the world to provide an opportunity to share experiences on different dimensions of recovery in the context of multi-dimensional risks countries are facing in the last few years.
