Virtual landslide lessons: Nepal’s students prepare for real-life risks | UNDRR

Описание: In Nepal, students are taking virtual lessons about very real landslide risks, reshaping how they prepare for mountain hazards. 🌄💻

This ground-breaking initiative brings a 360° landslide experience into the classroom, letting students safely navigate dangerous terrain to better understand the hazard. Nepal’s steep mountains and heavy monsoons make landslides a very real threat – and these VR workshops offer a safe way for students to gain valuable skills to protect themselves and support their communities. 👨‍🎓🌧️

About UNDRR:
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) has a big ambition: to help decision-makers across the globe better understand and act on risk. At UNDRR, we believe there is no such thing as a natural disaster. A natural hazard, such as a hurricane, earthquake, tsunami, or flood, only becomes a disaster when it impacts a community that is not adequately protected and whose population is vulnerable as a result of poverty, exclusion, or social disadvantage. We envision a world where disasters no longer threaten the well-being of people and the future of the planet. Sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda cannot be achieved without working towards the goal of building resilience.
