12th Civil Defence World Conference - address by Sálvano Briceño, Director, UNISDR

We have come to appreciate, for example, that long-term action and commitment are necessary to promote a culture of disaster prevention on a sustained basis; and that concrete actions need to be adopted to ensure the integration of disaster reduction into the overall approach towards sustainable development.
