MESSAGE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION-13 October 2019
-THE SECRETARY-GENERAL
Throughout my life, I have visited many communities affected by extreme weather events and other natural hazards.
From the South Pacific to Mozambique to the Caribbean and beyond, I have seen the devastating and life-changing impact of the climate emergency on vulnerable communities.
Disasters inflict horrendous suffering and can wipe out decades of development gains in an instant.
