2–6 June 2025 - Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, Geneva, Switzerland

🌍 At the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (2–6 June 2025, Geneva), the world is coming together to advance the urgent agenda of early warning systems, inclusive governance, and resilient recovery.

In this high-level global dialogue, the ISTC (International Science and Technology Center) proudly contributes as a bridge between science, policy, and regional cooperation.

Through initiatives like PPRD Mediterranean funded by the European Commission, we are actively supporting 10 partner countries to:

✅ Strengthen multi-risk early warning systems

✅ Foster cross-border coordination

✅ Pilot space-based and data-driven solutions for enhanced disaster preparedness

📍 Tested across the Mediterranean, our tools and pilot actions are now scalable solutions for regions facing similar risks — from natural disasters (wildfires, flooding, flash floods and earthquakes) to man-made hazards (including marine pollution). More info at: www.pprdmed.eu

From community-centred early warnings, to advancing innovation through science and local knowledge, the GP2025 agenda aligns closely with our mission to scale actionable, inclusive, and sustainable approaches to risk reduction.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and the UNDRR Arab States for convening this powerful platform. 

We are inspired by the shared commitment and honored to stand among global actors shaping the future of disaster risk governance.
