The eighth session of the Global Platform (GP2025) will be organized and convened by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) from 2 to 6 June 2025, in Geneva, Switzerland, hosted by the Government of Switzerland.
The theme of GP2025, “Every Day Counts: Act for Resilience Today,” underscores the urgency of taking bold action to safeguard communities and build a sustainable future, as stakeholders from across the globe will come together in a now-or-never push toward achieving the goals and targets of the Sendai Framework.
The GP2025 will constitute an important milestone between the High-Level meeting on the midterm review of the Sendai Framework (May 2023) and the five final years before the Sendai Framework will come to an end. The event is expected to assess and discuss progress made in the implementation of the recommendations put forward through the Political Declaration adopted by the UN General Assembly in May 2023, and to give practical guidance to accelerate its further implementation. GP2025 offers a chance for all stakeholders to recommit, with urgency, to accelerate progress on disaster risk reduction towards the achievement of sustainable development.
The event will be co-chaired by the Government of Switzerland and UNDRR.
Education will be featured prominently at GP2025
