Europe and Central Asia Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR)

The Europe and Central Asia Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction, previously called the European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR), is the main intergovernmental platform for addressing regional disaster risk challenges in Europe and Central Asia, comprising 55 countries.

Held every three years, the Regional Platform has established itself as a unique vehicle to address regional disaster risk challenges, gathering stakeholders across governments, civil society, and the private sector, enabling knowledge-sharing and making commitments to reducing disaster risk tangible. The platform is supported by a secretariat composed of the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the host country of the platform and UNDRR.
