About this project

The UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR) is the flagship report of the United Nations on worldwide efforts to reduce disaster risk and is published by the UNDRR. It is the product of many contributions, including from States and disaster risk-related science and research stakeholders, amongst others.
