This day seeks to raise awareness in the States and their inhabitants so that they take measures to reduce the risks derived from natural disasters.

Established by FAO in 1979 to generate greater solidarity with those who live in indignity and suffer from hunger. It is a call to abandon indifference and take corrective measures that socially include the poorest. There are more than 820 million people who do not have enough to eat and the climate emergency is an increasingly serious threat to food security.
- 10/17 - Day of the Natural Protected Areas of Peru
The purpose of this date is to position and highlight their importance for human well-being and sustainable development, since they constitute the main strategy for the conservation of biological diversity and the provision of ecosystem services that ensure the well-being of current and future populations, while respecting the native peoples that live in them.

It promotes the importance of equitable and adequate access to basic urban services, as pillars of sustainable urbanization and, therefore, of widespread economic and social development.
