International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2020

Webinar – Good disaster risk governance: perspectives from business leaders

In 2020 the theme for the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction was 'It's all about governance'. This was part of the 'Sendai Seven Campaign', which focused on Target E: substantially increase the number of countries with national and local disaster risk reduction strategies by 2020.

AIDR partnered with corporate2community to bring together a panel of business leaders to share their reflections on how good disaster risk governance has changed and enhanced corporate priorities and leadership.
