The UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction) will hold its Second Session of the Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction between 16-19 June 2009 at the Geneva International Conference Centre. The deadline for registrations for this conference has been extended until 15 May.

The UNISDR has made it clear that all parliamentarians are welcome to attend this event, so we would encourage those members who might be interested participating, to contact the GLOBE secretariat on how to proceed.
