On Thursday, 25 May 2017, delegates attending the Fifth Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) convened in a plenary session to consider national and local DRR strategies. They heard from local and national level experts and practitioners, with many delegates calling: to prioritize the role of women in reducing disaster risk; to ensure a people-centered approach to the design of DRR strategies rather than an infrastructure-centered one; and for greater inclusivity in the creation of local and national DRR strategies.
