The Sasakawa Award for Disaster Risk Reduction was established in 1986 with support from the Nippon Foundation alongside the WHO Sasakawa Health Prize and UNEP Sasakawa Environment Prize to recognize outstanding contributions to building community resilience and reducing disaster risk. This year’s theme, “Connecting science to people: democratizing access to innovation and technology for disaster resilient communities,” celebrates efforts to make scientific knowledge and technological solutions accessible for community resilience in our increasingly complex world. UNDRR is pleased to announce the shortlisted candidates for the 2025 Sasakawa Awards, in two separate categories: one for Individuals and the second for Organizations. The winners of the 2025 Sasakawa Awards will be officially announced at the Sasakawa Awards Ceremony, which will be held at the Global Platform 2025 International Conference Centre of Geneva (CICG) in Plenary A on 5 June at 18:15. The ceremony will be preceded by an intimate reception. https://globalplatform.undrr.org/conference-event/2025-sasakawa-awards-disaster-risk-reduction-announces-shortlisted-candidates
