GAR19 – Global Assessment Report for 2019

Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction 2019 (GAR19) is a flagship report published by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). It provides a comprehensive global analysis of disaster risk, highlighting how systemic risks—such as climate change, environmental degradation, and economic vulnerability—interact and amplify disaster impacts.

GAR19 emphasizes the need to move from managing disasters to managing risk, promoting risk-informed development, strengthened governance, and investment in resilience to support sustainable development worldwide.
