Countries around the world are striving to reduce disaster risk within their borders, but this work cannot be done alone. Strategies to reduce risk often require cross-border collaboration and opportunities to learn from one another’s success stories. This session will highlight the history and future of these efforts in Japan, South and Central America, the Caribbean, and New Zealand. Panelists will discuss the impacts of past disasters on current practice and policies, the role of national attitudes in disaster outcomes, existing research and collaboration gaps, and best practices for implementing disaster risk reduction activities and education.
