International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction 13 October: Theme - Empowering the next generation for a resilient future October 13, 2024
Dear
UNDRR partners,
We are
just three months away from the International Day
for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) on 13 October! This year, the United Nations Office
for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is promoting the importance of empowering
the next generation for a resilient future.
Ahead
of the International Day, we are excited to announce the launch of the toolkit designed
to inspire teachers, schools, educators, and policymakers to empower children
and youth for a more disaster-proof future.
The
toolkit provides a menu of ideas and materials including a:
·
DRR awareness
video to show in the
classroom
·
Disaster
simulation video game Stop Disasters.
It
also has a collection of stories from educators around the world that include:
·
What does a nursery
school in Kenya do to teach their little ones to stay safe during the
disasters?
·
How does an institute
in India promote inclusive approach to disaster risk management? How did a
digital campaign in Zimbabwe influence Disaster Risk Management Bill?
Please
find these and other stories in the toolkit.
Why
Participate?
The
increase in number and impact of disasters, many of them driven by climate
change, threaten the well-being of children.
Approximately
one billion children worldwide are at extremely high risk due to climate
impacts, including climate-related disasters, according to UNICEF.
Beyond
the risk of death and injury, children face disruptions in schooling,
nutrition, and healthcare in the aftermath of a disaster.
Participation
of educators and DRR education policymakers at all levels is crucial to shape
effective disaster preparedness and empowering the next generation. Every
effort counts.
UNDRR
is inviting the MCR2030 community to join this movement and build DRR awareness
to save lives and protect livelihoods.
Please
let your communities know about the upcoming International Day
for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR).
We
encourage you to share the link through your networks, organize events in your
city, and make use of this toolkit.
Let
us know how did it go!
If you decide to go ahead with an event inspired by the toolkit, please share stories and photos with us at undrrcomms@un.org. We will share a selection with our global communities of DRR policymakers and practitioners via MCR2030 and UNDRR media channels.
Best
regards,
