Risk reduction index: analysis of the capacities and conditions for disaster risk reduction

This report looks at the factors and conditions that contribute to the generation of risk. Based on extensive local consultation and analysis, it provides clear guidance for effective risk reduction in vulnerable and hazard-prone areas across the world.

By generating and disseminating this information, the aim is to influence long and medium-term development processes to achieve more sustainable development patterns and protect the most vulnerable. The information generated, at national, sub-national and local levels, and the preliminary analysis carried out in this report are intended to serve as input for further research projects to be conducted by social researchers and decision makers.
