ICSU annual report 2013
This report presents ICSU advances in each of the themes of its strategic plan (International Research Collaboration, Science for Policy, and Universality of Science) and its programmes, such as Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR) and its four major projects, which are intended to contribute vital scientific knowledge and capability to the post-Hyogo framework for disaster risk reduction. It also highlights the progress made in 2013 in integrating ICSU global and regional plans and actions on hazards and disasters, which led to enhanced cooperation between IRDR global and regional structures, particularly in Latin America and Africa.
