UN International Day
The topic of this year’s UN International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, which takes place on October 13, is Early Warning for All. Every individual and government is encouraged to participate in creating more disaster-resilient communities and countries on the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The Sendai Framework’s Target G, “Significantly expand the availability and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to people by 2030,” will be the emphasis of the 2022 UN International Day. Every year on October 13, the day honors the ways in which people and communities around the world are lowering their risk of being affected by catastrophes and increasing awareness of the value of limiting the dangers they face.

In 2022, the Target G of the Sendai Framework, which states that “by 2030, significantly expand the availability and access to multi-hazard early warning systems and disaster risk information and assessments to people,” will be the emphasis of UN International Day. The announcement made in March 2022 by UN Secretary-General António Guterres that “the United Nations would spearhead new action to ensure every person on Earth is safeguarded by early warning systems within five years” increased the urgency with which this goal must be met.
The 2022 edition coincides with the Sendai Framework Mid-Term Review, which will finish in May 2023 with a High-level Meeting of the General Assembly and a political declaration.
