The occurrence of natural disasters is on the rise. Images of the devastating Myanmar cyclone (2008) and Sichuan, China earthquake (2008) will remain with us for a long time. Disaster preparedness and mitigation are among the key objectives in UNESCO’s Strategy. Operating at the interface between education, science, the social sciences, culture and communication, UNESCO has a vital role to play in constructing a global culture of disaster risk reduction.
