GNDR members and staff participated in this year’s High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York on 9-18 July. Organised annually by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations, this is where countries come together and review their progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our goal was to advocate risk-informed development, for local level participation in decision-making and policy coherence. Here’s an overview of our activities at the conference.

Este año participamos en la Plataforma Mundial para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres, organizada por la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas para la Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres (UNDRR). Durante la conferencia, incidimos por un dividendo REAL de resiliencia, uno que se base en los derechos ("Rights based"), que empodere a las comunidades ("Empowerment"), que haga que todos rindan cuentas ("Accountability") y que no deje a nadie atrás ("Leave no one behind"). A continuación se encuentra un resumen de nuestros logros principales durante los cinco días que duró el evento en Ginebra, Suiza.
