Sauder student goes to UN to advocate for youth engagement in disaster risk reduction
Third-year accounting student Salina Dharamsi recently travelled to the United Nations to participate in a multi-stakeholder debate focused on disaster risk reduction.
The timely discussion, titled “Taking Collective Action in Disaster Risk Reduction for Good Governance – Investing in Our Children’s Future,” took place just weeks before the catastrophic earthquake in Japan and focused on developing good governance and child-centred approaches to reduce suffering and mortality levels after natural disasters.
