The third issue of the IRDR newsletter, which covers the last quarter of 2025, October to December 2025, is now available. Highlights include:
convening the 28th meeting of the IRDR Scientific Committee (SC28), the second for the current cohort of SC members;
increasing the staff complement of the International Programme Office (IPO) thereby enhancing the ability of the Secretariat to operationalise the Action Plan;
selecting three new ICoEs; and
welcoming 15 young scientists to the membership of IRDR’s Young Scientists’ Programme (IRDR YSP).
Altogether, the initiatives undertaken during the last quarter of 2025 demonstrate IRDR’s commitment to promoting a better understanding of disaster risk and the effective use of risk science in decision-making, and of the importance of knowledge exchange and partnerships among international organisations, academia and the private sector.
