Ecosystem-based recovery: the case of Kerala floods 2018

  • WRC 4 – Room 18, CICG

The fourth World Reconstruction Conference (WRC4) was held in Geneva on May 13-14, 2019 under the theme “Inclusion for Resilient Recovery,” building on the recognition and consensus of previous WRCs that recovery can risk reinforcing existing inequalities; that a resilient recovery is imperative to sustainable development and poverty reduction; and that to be resilient, recovery must build back better.

WRC4 was held in conjunction with the 6th Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR, May 13-17, 2019). The conference brought together leaders, experts, policy makers, and practitioners from government, international organizations, NGOs, academia, and the private sector from both developing and developed countries. It also built on the experience and lessons learned from the previous editions.
