Resumo

O Relatório Global sobre o Estado da Prevenção do Afogamento detalha a dimensão das mortes por afogamento em todo o mundo e os progressos alcançados no desenvolvimento de estratégias e ações para reduzir o afogamento global. O relatório apresenta um parâmetro para acompanhar o progresso na prevenção do afogamento ao longo do tempo – a nível global, regional e nacional – e para impulsionar uma colaboração multissetorial significativa entre governos, organizações, sociedades e em toda a Organização das Nações Unidas.

O relatório:
• resume os dados disponíveis para ajudar a compreender o impacto do afogamento em nível global e nacional,
e apresenta uma visão geral das tendências desde 2000;

• apresenta conclusões sobre o estado global dos esforços de governança para a prevenção do afogamento e a legislação que aborda os fatores de risco para a prevenção do afogamento;

• apresenta uma visão geral do estado das principais ações e intervenções para a prevenção do afogamento;

• destaca as lacunas de conhecimento para orientar futuras pesquisas sobre a prevenção do afogamento;

• tem como objetivo fortalecer a rede de pessoas que trabalham na prevenção do afogamento em todo o mundo;

• fornece um parâmetro para avaliar o progresso na prevenção do afogamento.
