<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">It is a pleasure to inform you that on 3 December as part of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UN Flagship report on Disability and Development was launched:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">“The UN Flagship Report on Disability and Development 2018 – Realizing the SDGs by, for and with persons with disabilities shows that people with disabilities are at a disadvantage
regarding most Sustainable Development Goals, but also highlights the growing number of good practices that can create a more inclusive society in which they can live independently.” Said UN Secretary-General António Guterres’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">Please note that UNISDR has actively contributed in the development to the report as a member of the Inter-Agency Support Group to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities. The report includes a separate chapter on “Building resilience of persons with disabilities and reducing their exposure to and impact from climate-related hazards and other shocks and disasters (SDGs 1.5, 11.5 and 13). There is a specific sub-chapter
on “International normative frameworks on disability-inclusive disaster risk reduction” (p. 278). Particularly Box 9 on 281 highlights how through the implementation of the Sendai Framework disability inclusive DRR is starting to become systematically mainstreamed
at regional level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
