2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction: connecting New Zealand to global DRR research and New Zealand research to global DRR initiatives
The 2017 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction was held in Cancun, Mexico on 22-26 May. The Global Platform marked the first opportunity for the international community to review global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, which was adopted in Japan in 2015. More than 5,000 participants attended, including policy makers, disaster risk managers and researchers.
In this series of workshops researchers will provide an overview of the key outcomes of the 2017 Global Platform and discuss further opportunities for New Zealand researchers, research institutions and other groups to connect to international science and technology efforts.
