Looking at the final programme of the Cancun Global Platform for Disaster Reduction’s and the list of preparatory and side events, six clusters of issues seem to me areas where critical analysis should be applied and where advocacy might prove fruitful. I attach a two page discussion of these. I send it as an invitation to hear what you think are the crucial issues that should be discussed. What are the silences that still need to be broken?
I look forward to hearing from many of you on these sites or in a personal email.
Thanks!
