Ms. Mizutori also said that earth observation data is essential to UNISDR’s efforts in building a collaborative Global Risk Assessment Framework.

“This framework which will be launched shortly will support countries and decision makers at all levels in assessing their systems-risk comprehensively and enable them to take informed decisions,” she said.

Ms. Mizutori said there would be other opportunities for collaboration between GEO and  UNISDR including the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction that will be held in Geneva in May 2019. Registration for the Global Platform opened last week.

She closed her address by stating that UNISDR looked forward to a strong and continuous partnership with GEO and expressing her thanks to the Government of Japan and the GEO Secretariat led by Dr. Gilberto Camara for the hosting and organization of the event.
