World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction

20/3/2015

 
Mayor Lianne Dalziel's report from the third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan.
 
I was invited by Hon Gerry Brownlee, Minister for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery, to join the government delegation that he was leading to the United Nations 3rd World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.
 
Having been a member of the Parliamentarians Advisory Committee on DRR to the UNISDR and now as Mayor of Christchurch, I had been invited to present to two working sessions at the Conference (Risk Identification and Assessment and Disaster Risk Management for Healthy Societies) and to participate in a public forum on Effective Implementation of Recovery Plans and Programs.
 
It was on this basis that I joined the delegation.

I served as a Trade Union representative on the board of the Canterbury WEA back in the 1980s, and I have been a speaker, a debater and an attendee at many meetings and events over the past 30 year, so that's why I particularly wanted to be here today.
 
It is really great to be part of the centenary festivities.
