The Risk and governance: bridging national enabling environments and local actions ProVention Consortium forum 2009, organized by the UNISDR and the World Bank, which took place mid-May in Istanbul, Turkey, focused on three main points:
- how national governments are creating an enabling environment for successful risk reduction and climate change adaptation,
- how communities can work together through local and meso-level governance processes
- and how inclusive processes can better connect these two levels.
During the event, other panels also discussed risk financing and disaster risk reduction investment, local platform and how to support them and national enabling environment.
