Bond: Faith and Disaster Risk Reduction

The Bond Resilience Learning Group and the Joint Learning Initiative are co-hosting an event on the role of Faith Communities in Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience. The meeting will be centred around Tearfund’s recent report “With You in the Storm”, that summarises the peer-reviewed evidence for the roles of Christian churches in disaster management, followed by responses from practitioners from other faiths. In light of the Sendai Framework for DRR and recent COP28 climate change talks, we want to use this as a springboard to spur discussion on the compelling need for greater inclusion of faith leaders in disaster risk reduction and management.

• Date: 7th February 2024
• Time: 3:00 – 4:30pm (GMT)
• In-person location: Salvation Army International HQ, London, 101 Queen Victoria St,London EC4V 4EH, United Kingdom
• Online: Zoom meeting

The meeting is open for agencies and individuals of faith and no faith as we all try to help disaster-affected people and communities manage and reduce the risks they face, especially in the face of climate change, conflict and disease pandemics like Covid.

The meeting will be hybrid, so please sign up for either in-person or online signup.
