Disaster Risk Reduction

Welcome to UNICEF’s resource hub for disaster risk reduction (DRR) with access to featured publications, quick links, case studies and a database of UNICEFF publications. Learn more about:

• UNICEF’s child-centred approach to reducing disaster and climate risk and building resilience in development and humanitarian settings, both for and with children and young people; 

• UNICEF’s work to empower girls and women, advance gender equality, ensure disability inclusion, support comprehensive school safety efforts, and develop and benefit from public and private sector partnerships; and

• UNICEF’s actions within and across child-critical sectors, like social protection, education, health, nutrition, child protection and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene).

The site includes materials recently launched at the Global Platform on DRR, 23-28 May, 2022: UNICEF’s Official Statement, our GP2022 Advocacy Brief and a report on our DRR work. Please join us in urgent action for every country to be protected; every child to be resilient.
