Its missions are (a) to mainstream disaster reduction and climate change adaptation (CCA) in country development strategies, and (b) to foster and strengthen global and regional cooperation among various stakeholders under the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) system. GFDRR supports the implementation of the UN 2005-2015 Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). This international agreement in relation to disaster risk reduction (DRR) arose from a 168-nation UN conference held in Kyoto, Japan, in 2005. The key player for coordinating the implementation of HFA is the UNISDR bureau with headquarters in Geneva and eight regional offices worldwide. Another UN agency with operational responsibility for UN disaster related work is the UNDP-BCPR. These two UN agencies and GFDRR have complementary goals, creating potential for collaboration among the three organizations, but also calling for care in monitoring the risk of overlapping work among them and other DRR actors. UNISDR was a founding partner of GFDRR and UNDP-BCPR became a permanent observer to GFDRR in 2008.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOALLIANCEFLOODINGDISASTER ASSISTANCEEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSEMPLOYMENTRISKSCAPITAL MARKETSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKACCOUNTINGDISASTER RECOVERYURBANIZATIONEARLY WARNINGUNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTRISK REDUCTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTPRINCIPALINFORMATION SYSTEMRISK_REDUCTIONINTERESTDISASTER SITUATIONSLAWSFACTORINGSTORMSINDUSTRYLOCAL GOVERNMENTSSTRATEGIESDONOR PLEDGEWATER SUPPLYSERVICESDEVELOPMENT NETWORKHOUSINGFOREIGN AFFAIRSBUILDING CODEDISASTER_RISKHUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENTFLOOD PROTECTIONDISASTERPROJECTSDISASTER_RISK_REDUCTIONCENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGYDAMAGESMULTILATERAL DEVELOPMENT BANKSEMERGENCY RELIEFCASH CONTRIBUTIONSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER EVENTSRURAL COMMUNITYEARTHQUAKESMUNICIPALITIESTSUNAMISSAFETY NETSDISASTER EMERGENCYBUDGETEMERGENCY PLANNINGREGIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKSDISASTER RELIEFPUBLIC POLICYTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEEARTHQUAKE RECONSTRUCTIONTSUNAMIRELIEFEFFECTIVE GOVERNANCENATURAL DISASTERDISASTER MITIGATIONDISASTER RESPONSETRANSPORTFLOODSRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONDONOR PLEDGESEARLY WARNING SYSTEMPUBLIC SAFETYNATURAL HAZARDEMERGENCIESNATURAL DISASTERSCRITERIAFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSMARKETSNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSFORECASTINGLOCAL GOVERNMENTINSURERSCREDDISASTERSEMERGENCY RESPONSETUBERCULOSISLOANSLABORHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCELANDSLIDESENTERPRISESTRUST FUNDSFINANCEGRANTSDISASTER PRONE AREASADMINISTRATIVE COSTSINFRASTRUCTURELAND USEACCESS TO INFORMATIONDONOR COORDINATIONISLAMIC DEVELOPMENT BANKBANKSRATING AGENCIESDEVOLUTIONTECHNOLOGYDISASTER MONITORINGDISASTER RECONSTRUCTIONEARTHQUAKEEMERGENCYACCOUNTABILITYDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKCLIMATE CHANGEDROUGHTRISK MANAGEMENT PROJECTVALUEDEVELOPMENT BANKSBANKNATURAL DISASTER REDUCTIONCREDITEXTREME EVENTSAGRICULTURAL INSURANCEFLOOD DAMAGEMDBDMFDECLARATIONPEER REVIEWDAMAGEPROPERTYFISCAL YEARDISASTER PREPAREDNESSRELIEF OPERATIONSDISASTER MANAGEMENTDEVASTATIONFACE VALUEFUNDS FLOWWARNING SYSTEMFLOODEMERGENCY SERVICESNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONURBAN DEVELOPMENTFLOOD FORECASTINGECONOMICSACCOUNTING SYSTEMSRISK FACTORSGOVERNANCEINSURANCEMUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENTOVERHEAD COSTSCIVIL DEFENSELANDHURRICANENATIONAL EMERGENCYBANK MANAGEMENTRISKWARNING SYSTEMSMINISTRIES OF FINANCEBUILDING CODESDISASTER RISKSEMERGENCY MANAGEMENTDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONREVENUERISK MANAGEMENTLENDINGDEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONINTERNATIONAL STRATEGY FOR DISASTER REDUCTIONFINANCIAL RISKEMERGENCY PREPAREDNESSEPIDEMIOLOGYDISASTER MANAGEMENT FACILITYTECHNOLOGIESGOVERNMENTSSAFETYNATURAL HAZARDSRISK ASSESSMENTAUDITINGRISK ANALYSISENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESBookWorld Bank10.1596/978-1-60244-224-5
