Introduction

The Children & Youth Forum (the Forum) will be held during the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR) between March 14-18th running alongside the Public Forum at the official WCDRR. Prior to the Forum, a 3-day series of Pre-WCDRR Workshops will be held from March 11-13th.

The Children & Youth Forum at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (3WCDRR) and Pre-WCDRR Workshops represents all activities related to children and youth engagement in the lead-up to the conference in Sendai, Japan held during March 2015. As such, it was intended that the Children & Youth Forum would be led by children and youth and be developed for children and youth to mobilize and showcase their strengths, skills, and abilities to lead change in reducing risk and building resilience to disasters.

Equipping participants with the tools to become the next global and local resilience leaders, the Forum will facilitate their meaningful participation in the negotiations and consultations of the WCDRR. We additionally welcome all stakeholders to take part in the the Forum March 14-18th, and invite you to contribute your meaningful opinions and knowledge. Please find details of the Children & Youth Forum Program below (please note, however, that it is still subject to change.

Pre-WCDRR Workshop Forum March 11-13th
