Welcome to the German Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2024!

22nd & 23rd April 2024 | On the Edge? Disaster Risk Reduction in Fragile Times | Tagungswerk Berlin & Online

Since 2016, with the support of the Federal Foreign Office, the German Red Cross has been hosting the German Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction. This conference serves as a vital platform for experts in national disaster risk reduction and international humanitarian disaster risk reduction to come together for meaningful exchange. The core focus of this event lies in fostering dialogue on current topics, challenges, and innovative approaches, aiming to facilitate synergies between international and national disaster risk reduction efforts.

This year’s Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction is themed "On the Edge? Disaster Risk Reduction in Fragile Times" and will take place in a hybrid format on April 22nd and 23rd, 2024, at Tagungswerk Berlin, Lindenstraße 85.

The conference will delve into the challenges, opportunities, and current developments in disaster risk reduction and response, navigating the complexities of ongoing national and global issues such as climate change, health crises, and societal and geopolitical tensions.

We are pleased to announce that, alongside online participation, we can once again offer the option for in-person attendance in Berlin this year. Further details are available on our registration page.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to your registration and the prospect of welcoming you, either in person in Berlin or online, to the German Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2024!
