UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN ISDR)
The secretariat of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) was established in 1999 by the UN General Assembly to facilitate the implementation of the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction and „to serve as the focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of disaster reduction and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations system and regional organizations and activities in socio-economic and humanitarian fields“. With the adoption of the Hyogo Framework for Action by the UN General Assembly in 2005, UNISDR was tasked with supporting its implementation. UNISDR also coordinates the organisation of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction.
