National Platforms for Disaster Risk Reduction

Across the Europe Region, composed of 55 UN Member Countries, 37 National Platforms for Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) are in place. The structure of these coordination mechanisms, as well as their legal status, budgets, scope and level of activity, vary across countries. Nevertheless, all aim to ensure multi-stakeholder engagement in building resilience at national level, by implementing DRR measures and mainstreaming risk reduction dimensions across relevant sectoral policies, programmes and instruments.

This report brings together country fact sheets for all 37 National Platforms reported thus far by National Sendai Focal Points. This living document offers an overview of the main dimensions of these coordination mechanisms, allowing for an exchange of good practices, the development of synergies and the possibility for stronger engagement across countries of the Europe region.
