This Annual Report for 2011, which provides a comprehensive overview of the UNISDR Biennial Work Programme 2010-2011, focuses on UNISDR’s work with partners to deliver results and measures achievement against the strategic objectives for these two years. It briefly sets out UNISDR progress against four strategic objectives: (i) disaster risk reduction accepted and applied for climate change adaptation; (ii) measurable increases in investments in disaster risk reduction; (iii) disaster-resilient cities, schools and hospitals; and (iv) strengthened international system for disaster risk reduction. The report then gives an account of the financial situation and the intended outcomes of UNISDR's objectives.
