ABOUT UNDRR
The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) works towards the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses to ensure a sustainable future.
UNDRR (formerly known as UNISDR) is the focal point of the United Nations system for disaster risk reduction and the custodian of the Sendai Framework, supporting countries and societies in its implementation, monitoring and review of progress.
ABOUT DISASTER RISK REDUCTION
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) aims to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risk, strengthening the resilience of people, systems and approaches.
DRR sits at the heart of the world’s most pressing concerns: climate change, displacement, urbanization, pandemics, protracted crises and financial systems collapse.
Extreme change is taking place in planetary systems, and we must act now to secure a safe, healthy and prosperous future.
