Zet handicap op de agenda van de 3e Wereldconferentie over rampenrisicovermindering

In maart 2015 wordt de volgende Global Disaster Risk Reduction Conference gehouden in Japan.

Alle sessies van het conferentieprogramma (voorlopig concept) staan open voor opmerkingen (http://www.wcdrr.org/conference/programme).

Dit is een goede gelegenheid voor ons om input te leveren over handicap inclusief DRR en onze zorgen te bespreken in de sessies.

Geef alstublieft commentaar uiterlijk 8 december 2014.
