Description
The International Recovery Platform (IRP) Special Event dwells on the theme "Integrating Social, Economic, and Environmental Concerns in Post-Disaster Recovery" to further promote more coherent and holistic recovery approach. It serves as venue to discuss different mechanisms for integrating recovery issues and specific measures to address them. With recent disaster experiences as reference, gaps and constraints that are recently experienced in post-disaster recovery operations will be identified, considering the backdrop of PDNA process, Japanese technical expertise, greening recovery approaches, and suggested measures drawn from the International Recovery Forum held January 2009. Outputs of this Special Event include concrete recommendations to build back better and to accelerate implementation of HFA.
Expected Outcomes
This Special Event will provide:
- An overview of the PDNA process and the launching of a peer review exercise on the same to ensure that social, economic, and environmental concerns are taken into consideration
- A presentation of best practices and lessons learned that can help mitigate disaster impacts on the livelihoods and the environment
- Proposals for effective dissemination of knowledge and lessons learned, including those outputs of the International Recovery Forum 2009, to wider community of practice
This event will support the expected outcome of the Global Platform of identifying remaining gaps as well as actions to accelerate national and local implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action.
