In 2024, the International Day focused on the role of education in protecting and empowering youth for a disaster-free future. The theme is aligned with the upcoming Summit of the Future, planned for September 2024, where ‘youth and future generations’ will be one of its five priorities.
The Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience and Natural Hazards Research Australia came together on Wednesday 9 October, to celebrate the United Nations International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 2024 and explore the theme ‘Empowering the next generation for a resilient future.’
The 60-minute webinar showcased projects, practical tools, strategies, and resources for schools, organisations, and policymakers to promote disaster resilience education and facilitate youth engagement.
