Find DRR intergovernmental declarations

This page displays intergovernmental declarations on disaster risk, climate adaptation and resilience.

Governance of risk plays a central role in managing disaster risk. Intergovernmental declarations for disaster risk reduction are formal agreements or statements made by multiple governments or international bodies aimed at reducing the risk and impact of disasters.

These declarations typically outline shared goals, principles, and actions that member states commit to implementing to enhance their resilience to disasters. Intergovernmental declarations serve as blueprints for national and local disaster risk reduction policies, fostering international cooperation and ensuring a coordinated effort to mitigate the impact of disasters globally.
