The Win DRR Award, the Risk Award and the Sasakawa Award recognize excellence, innovation and leadership in disaster risk reduction.
Asia and the Pacific is the most disaster-prone region in the world. Women across the region are helping us to understand, prevent and reduce the risk of disasters we face. These inspiring women are the 12 finalists for the 2022 Rising Star Women’s International Network for Disaster Risk Reduction Leadership Award.
