Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is a global agreement adopted in 2015 during the United Nations World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan. Its primary goal is to reduce disaster risks and enhance resilience to disasters by promoting a proactive approach to disaster management. The framework outlines seven global targets and four priorities for action, focusing on understanding disaster risk, strengthening disaster risk governance, investing in disaster risk reduction, and enhancing disaster preparedness.
The framework emphasizes the importance of collaboration among governments, communities, and organizations to build resilience against disasters. It encourages the integration of disaster risk reduction into policies and practices across various sectors, including urban planning, health, and education. By fostering a culture of safety and preparedness, the Sendai Framework aims to minimize the impact of disasters on people and economies worldwide.
