The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is the main global forum on disaster risk reduction. At its first session in June 2007, it brought together representatives of governments, UN agencies, regional bodies, international financial institutions, civil society, the private sector and the scientific and academic communities to raise awareness on disaster risk, to share experience and to guide the ISDR system with a view to supporting countries to implement the Hyogo Framework for Action.

The second session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction is scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, during the week of 15 - 19 June 2009.

Further information on the 2009 session will become available in the coming months.
