The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is pleased to announce that the State of Qatar will host the Ninth Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP2028)

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is pleased to announce that the Proceedings of the GP2025 are now available in the six official languages of the United Nations.

At a high-level special event at GP 2025, leaders from governments, international agencies, labour unions, academia, and the humanitarian sector discussed how better governance can protect people’s lives from extreme heat.

The Dialogue marked one year since the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening regional cooperation on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

UNDRR Head Kamal Kishore reflects on the 2025 Global Platform, the many successes to celebrate, and the hard work ahead.

When hazards threaten, everyone deserves clear, actionable information delivered through trusted channels in ways that resonate and empower. The Global Platform's elevation of risk communication marks a crucial step toward making that vision reality.

When inclusion guides disaster risk reduction efforts, communities become stronger and more resilient. As climate change continues to intensify disaster risks, the imperative to leave no one behind has never been more urgent-or more achievable.

With over 1,500 members and four elected representatives, the LAC Women's Network brings the voices and stories of women from an expansive region where disasters intersect with deep-rooted inequalities.
