Welcome to the Youth Disaster Risk Reduction (YDRR) Initiative.

We’re a youth-led international initiative founded by Chinese youth, aligned with the UN Disaster Risk Reduction framework and dedicated to empowering global youth to engage in disaster risk reduction actions.

Unlocking youth power for disaster resilience

What started with a commitment to youth-led disaster risk reduction has now become a comprehensive platform aligned with the UN Disaster Risk Reduction framework. Discover the resources empowering young people to understand, prevent, and act on meteorological hazards, explore collaboration opportunities, and learn more about our mission-driven work.

Discover Meteorological Knowledge

We curate and simplify professional meteorological insights—covering typhoons, floods, and heatwaves—to create youth-friendly resources, helping you understand disaster-related weather patterns and reduce risk.

Learn about Disaster Prevention

We provide in-time disaster alerts and practical, step-by-step prevention guides tailored to daily scenarios (home, campus, community), empowering you to prepare for and respond to meteorological hazards.

Explore Youth Engagement Programmes

In partnership with friendly external organizations, we offer volunteer roles, cross-border DRR activities, and collaboration platforms, connecting young people worldwide to take action, share ideas, and drive community resilience together.

We recognize YDRR, which aligns perfectly with IRDR’s commitment to integrating youth perspectives into impactful, inclusive disaster risk solutions, as a vital partner in advancing global disaster preparedness”
