GADRI Secretariat
The Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) is a collaborative platform for engaging discussion, sharing knowledge and promoting networks on topics related to risk reduction and resilience to disasters. It was established as an outcome of the 2nd Global Summit held in March 2015 which was organized and initiated by DPRI, Kyoto University. Since then, GADRI Secretariat is headquartered at its host institute, DPRI, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.GADRI actively support the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction Agenda 2015-2030 adopted by the Third UN World Conference for DRR in Sendai, Japan and endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in the same year of 2015. GADRI continue to gain international recognition as a prominent alliance of academic research institutes in the eld of disaster risk reduction and prevention. As of March 2020, GADRI boast a membership of 205 institutes in 53 economies. During the GADRI 4th Global Summit of Research Institutes for Disaster Risk Reduction (4thGSRIDRR2019), GADRI shared its commitments and contributions to the revisions of the Science and Technology Roadmap which was adopted at the UN Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in May 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland. GADRI is contributing to the Science and Technology Advisory Group (STAG) and the Global Risk Assessment Framework (GRAF) of the United Nations O ce for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). GADRI is now planning the 5th Global Summit of GADRI: Engaging Science with Action to be held at EC-JRC, Ispra, Italy in March 2021.For further details, visit the website http://gadri.net/
