The 8th Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP2025) will convene from June 2 to 6, 2025, at the International Conference Centre Geneva (CICG) in Switzerland. Organized by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and hosted by the Swiss government, this global forum serves as a pivotal platform to assess and advance the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
Under the theme “Every Day Counts, Act for Resilience Today,” GP2025 aims to evaluate progress since the 2023 midterm review and provide actionable guidance for the remaining five years of the framework. The conference will feature plenary sessions, technical workshops, and side events, fostering collaboration among governments, UN agencies, NGOs, scientists, private sector entities, and Indigenous communities. A significant focus will be on identifying gaps, sharing best practices, and accelerating efforts to build resilience and reduce disaster risks globally.
