Resolutions as adopted in Istanbul 2014

Recommendations of the ESC for the Post Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA2)

Recognising
     That the ESC mission is to promote the science of Seismology within the scientific community of the European and Mediterranean countries, by promoting research studies, and extending and enhancing scientific co-operation; and

 Considering
     That in 2011, the United Nations General Assembly, through the Resolution 66/199, called for the development of a ‘post‐2015 framework for disaster risk reduction (HFA2)’, asking institutions worldwide to submit recommendations for HFA2.

 ESC Recommends
     The endorsement and distribution of the ‘Recommendations of the European Seismological Commission (ESC) for the Post Hyogo Framework of Action (HFA2)’, prepared by the Executive Committee in consultation with the ESC community

Thanks
