International Disaster and Risk Conference (IDRC) Davos 2010

As recent mega-disasters and crises have shown, risk management from a single perspective is no longer adequate to address the complex threats to today’s society. The conference will address different kinds of risks, disasters and crises. A truly integrated and participative approach is planned to ensure that the valuable lessons learned about risk reduction from a wide spectrum are applied correctly to create safer, more resilient and thus sustainable societies for the benefit of communities, countries and regions.

The following topics of interest will be discussed at the IDRC Davos 2010:

• Risk Reduction and Disaster Management
• Environment, Resources, Climate Change
• Science and Education
• Risk Governance, Society and Health
