Secretary-General's message for 2026
Earthquakes are one of nature’s deadliest hazards. In seconds, they can turn homes into ruins, undo decades of progress and claim thousands of lives.
On this first International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes, let us honour those lost by investing in disaster resilience.
