International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction

To achieve the goal of the Sendai Framework of reducing global disaster risks and losses, the theme of the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) 2024, which falls on 13 October, will be on the role of education in protecting and empowering youth for a disaster-free future.

On and around the week of October 13, IDDRR activations are being organised worldwide to advocate for the protection of children through #SafeSchools.

GADRRRES will focus our efforts on calling for endorsement, implementation, and championing of the Comprehensive School Safety Framework. For more details and ways to get involved, please see the UNDRR toolkit.

More detailed plans from GADRRRES will be shared soon.
