The World Disasters Report – launched by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) – is an annual independent publication commissioned by the IFRC, contributing evidence-based research on the challenges, trends and innovations in disaster risk reduction and crisis management. The report is an important body of research, which builds on discussions at the 2015 UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, and the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. It provided an important substance contribution to the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement’s International Conference in late 2015, as well as making a direct contribution to this year's World Humanitarian Summit where the localization of aid is one of the key thematic areas of focus.
