🌍 From science to action. From data to resilience. 🔬🤝

Disaster risk reduction is not just about reacting—it's about anticipating. The RSTAG (Regional Scientific and Technical Advisory Group) creates space where science, public policy, and local action come together to turn knowledge into life-saving decisions.

🎙️ Women scientists play a strategic role—as researchers, connectors, and trusted bridges between evidence and communities. Their leadership is essential not just for equity, but for building more adaptive, resilient societies.

🚀 Technologies like AI, remote sensing, climate modeling, and open data platforms can transform disaster risk reduction—but only when rooted in local knowledge and community needs.

💡 “Our challenge is not just to have better technology, but to ensure it's at the service of people.”, says Carolina Santacruz-Pérez, PhD
Senior Science Officer, Latin American and Caribbean Region, International Science Council (ISC)
