The Fourth Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction ended last month with the announcement by Japan that the country will hold the 2015 World Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, one of the cities devastated by the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011.
There were two main outcomes that came out of this Fourth Session - the Chair’s Summary and a High-Level Communique which can be downloaded from here: http://www.preventionweb.net/globalplatform/2013/keydocs
The closing ceremony also included a heart-felt song from Ms. Tosca Puno-Ramos, City Councilor, Makati City, of the Philippines and a 3-minute recap of the Platform (watch below) that brought over 3400 people to Geneva, Switzerland to discuss the future of DRR.
