Disaster risk reduction day: inclusion saves lives

Building resilience to climate change and disasters requires bottom-up, community-led response.

Advocating for inclusive resilience to disaster requires sustained collaboration at local and national level, between communities, humanitarian/development actors, and government authorities. This message was reiterated by speakers marking the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) 2023, a joint initiative of the Disaster Management Centre, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), World Vision Lanka (WVL), and Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS).
