Results of the 130th IPU Assembly and related meetings:

This resolution contains 28 recommendations, urges governments to engage in discussions on the post-2015 development agenda and the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction, and underscores the importance of an ambitious climate agreement that has legal force. The resolution points to demographic dynamics and climate change as significant drivers of disaster risk, stressing that they put additional pressures on natural resources and ecosystems and increase the vulnerability of communities.

This resolution was adopted by over 700 parliamentarians from 140 countries, which convened for the IPU Assembly from 16-10 March 2014, in Geneva, Switzerland.
