2009 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction
UN/ISDR is presently coordinating efforts of governmental, international and civil society partners to produce a Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR/DRR). It is expected that the report will be launched by the UN Secretary General at the second session of the Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction in 2009.
The primary objectives of the 2009 Global Assessment Report will be to:
- 1. Establish a credible and widely accepted reference point for information on global disaster risk patterns and trends.
- 2. Increase understanding and awareness of the mutually supportive relationship between development and disaster risk reduction by specifically focusing on links between disaster risk and poverty trends.
- 3. Strengthen the ISDR system’s capacity for planning and joint programming at all levels by providing a global level review of national, regional and thematic reporting on implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action.
A radical realignment of priorities in addressing the Hyogo Framework for Action are required if the growing population living in high risk conditions is to be adequately protected, the recently released UN/ISDR’s 2007 Global Review has concluded.
The 2007 Global Review provides a preview of elements that will be assessed in greater detail by the upcoming 2009 Global Assessment Report.
