2024 EFDRR - Europe and Central Asia Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction
The 2024 Europe and Central Asia Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction took place in Budva, Montenegro, from 6 - 8 November 2024.
The Regional Platform assessed progress on the regional EFDRR Roadmap for Disaster Risk Reduction 2021-2030 and built capacities of authorities and stakeholders to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
Held every three years, the Regional Platform has established itself as a unique vehicle to address regional disaster risk challenges, gathering the governments of 55 Member States and stakeholders across civil society and the private sector, enabling knowledge-sharing and making commitments to reducing disaster risk tangible. In 2024, the Regional Platform was hosted by the Government of Montenegro, in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, and with the support of UNDP, the European Commission, and the Council of Europe.
