In today’s COVID-19 transformed world, where the climate emergency is increasing the ferocity and frequency of extreme weather events worldwide, the need to act is clear. As disasters multiply and systemic risks increase, the imperative is to connect across sectors and geographies and foster partnerships so that our “new normal” enables resilience and sustainable development for all.

It’s in this context that the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR) 2022 is coming together in Bali, Indonesia, from May 23-28 this year. UN partners are proud to co-host the side-event “Resilience is everyone’s business: Learning from local experiences to build business and community resilience” with the Government of Indonesia as the GPDRR host, an opportunity to showcase Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) for disaster risk reduction and disaster management.
