#29 - GADRI2025 – An Introduction to GADRI (Prof. Hirokazu Tatano)

This week marks the 10th anniversary of GADRI and the 7th GADRI Global Summit. To commemorate this milestone, we will be running a series of episodes exploring various aspects of GADRI and discussing key developments taking place at this year’s summit.

First established in March 2015 as an outcome of the 2nd Global Summit of Research Institutes for Disaster Risk Reduction, GADRI is a collaborative platform for discussion, sharing knowledge and promoting networks on topics related to disaster risk reduction and resilience to disasters. GADRI is committed to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 which has pointed out the need to better link sustainable development and climate change efforts towards a common goal of harmonious living with nature and our planet.

In order to support these goals, GADRI is engaged in:

• Commitments to contribute to the Science and Technology Road to implement the Sendai Framework Agenda for 2030
• Enhance collaboration among member organizations to foster scientific exchange and collaboration research
• Encourage evaluation and reporting of research achievements and gaps through the biennial GADRI Global Summit.
• Dissemination of information on existing global disaster consequences databases and other information through Disaster and Risk Research: GADRI Book Series
• Sharing information on activities through newsletter - GADRI Actions
• Encourage communication tool/method for sharing knowledge on real-time applications for early warming systems and fast responses to disasters
• Endorse GADRI member research proposals
• Development of a database for data collection in future events
