Sendai Conference

The Sendai Conference, officially the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, is an international agreement adopted in 2015 to guide global efforts in reducing the impact of disasters. It emphasizes understanding risks, strengthening resilience, investing in prevention, and better preparing communities for hazards like earthquakes, floods, and storms. The framework encourages governments, organizations, and communities to work together to build safer, more resilient societies, aiming to save lives, reduce economic loss, and improve recovery after disasters. It builds on previous efforts and sets priorities for the next 15 years of disaster risk management.
