Description

This year, under the overarching theme of 'Complex Crises', the Disaster Risk Reduction Conference (Die Fachtagung Katastrophenvorsorge) will address the dynamically increasing perception of the scale and compounding impacts of recent disasters and crises. Crises which increasingly threaten the lives and livelihoods of millions of people and are exacerbated by the impact of Covid 19 and the armed conflict in Ukraine. Are we creating the necessary paradigm shift towards a more efficient, effective, and proactive humanitarian response? Are we up for the challenges that lay ahead for Germany’s civil protection mechanism?

Join over 20 exciting virtual workshops with national and international speakers on Climate Change, New Technologies in the Rescue Chain, What Civil Protection can Learn from Humanitarian Aid or Achieving the Sendai Goals in Fragile and Conflict-affected Areas.

Be virtually present at high-level national and international panel discussions of the conference. You can expect three exciting and high-ranking panel discussions, which will deal with the recently adopted German Resilience Strategy, the growing challenges of civil protection and international climate justice and policy.  

Programme is now available here (individual sessions available in English and in German).
