Save the Date
April 25th - 8:45- 1:00pm New York time
(EST)
Hosted by the Permanent Mission of the
Republic of Indonesia on behalf of the
From Risk to Resilience: Towards Sustainable
Development for All in a COVID-19 Transformed World.
Input to the Seventh Session of the Global
Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP2022) to be held in Bali from 23-28 May
The
seventh session of the Global Platform (GP2022) will be organized and convened
by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) from 23 to 28 May 2022, in
Bali, Indonesia, hosted by the Government of Indonesia. The event will be
co-chaired by the Government of Indonesia and UNDRR.
The
Global Platform takes place at a critical time: seven years from the adoption
of the Sendai Framework and just over two years since the start of the COVID-19
pandemic. This global crisis has exposed how underlying vulnerabilities and
inequities have catastrophic consequences for the most exposed across the
world. Prevention and the risk reduction agenda are essential if we are to
achieve a sustainable future for all. The 2022 Global Platform will provide a
unique and timely opportunity to showcase the importance of international
solidarity and cooperation, as well as to discuss ways to tackle underlying
risk drivers both locally and globally. Additionally, it will explore how to
strengthen disaster risk governance and how to build stronger systems for
managing all types of risks. GP2022 offers a chance for governments, UN system
and all stakeholders to recommit, with urgency, to accelerate progress on
disaster risk reduction towards the achievement of sustainable development.
The
GP2022 agenda will be guided by the Sendai Framework goal, priorities for
action and targets, the key priorities identified at the previous Global
Platform held in Geneva, Switzerland in 2019 as well as those stemming from the
Regional Platform meetings. The GP2022 will take stock of Sendai Framework
implementation, recommend actions for policy makers, highlight good practices
and raise awareness. The outcomes will be synthesized in the co-Chair’s summary
and will contribute to the inter-governmental midterm review of the Sendai
Framework scheduled for 2023.
