The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) 2024 focuses on protecting and empowering children and youth through education. Hear from the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction Kamal Kishore as he outlines three critical actions for a safer future.
1. Resilient School Infrastructure:
Every new school must be disaster-resistant.
Existing schools should be retrofitted to withstand local hazards.
2. Comprehensive Disaster Education:
Equip children with the best information and knowledge on disaster risk management.
Empower youth to challenge and educate their families on resilience and safety.
3. Endorsement of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework 2022-2030:
Encourage countries to adopt this framework to support the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Aim for 100% school safety coverage by 2030.
By taking these steps, we can ensure a safer and more resilient future for our children and communities. Let’s work together to build a world where education and safety go hand in hand.
Are you ready to build a world where education and safety go hand in hand?

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
