This roundtable will summarize the key outcomes from the World Reconstruction Conference to help guide the development of a sustainable reconstruction and recovery framework. Priority recommendations, as identifi ed in this session, will be delivered to the broader disaster risk reduction agenda during the World Reconstruction Conference and Global Platform joint summary outcome session.
