Preparatory meetings
States and their partners are preparing to have their say before the adoption of the new Post-2015 framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, HFA2. Local and regional governments will meet on 13 March (time and place to be defined by the organizers at a later stage) to discuss their role in the implementation of the new Post-2015 framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, HFA2, and to adopt a political statement.
The General Programme of the Conference is now available online!
If you wish to participate in one or more working sessions, please inform the UCLG World Secretariat (wcdrr@uclg.org) no later than 26 January 2015, and we will do our best to ensure your participation.
Local and regional governments are co-organizing a (ministerial) round table on the theme: â€œReducing Disaster Risk in Urban Settings”. This round table will take place on Monday 16 March and participation is by invitation only. It will provide an opportunity for an interactive debate between representatives of States and local and regional governments, focusing on the priorities and key measures that should support the Post-2015 framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
