Sendai Framework

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is a global agreement aimed at reducing risks associated with natural disasters. Created in 2015 during a UN conference in Japan, it emphasizes proactive measures to prevent disasters rather than just reacting to them. The framework outlines goals for improving resilience, increasing preparedness, and promoting sustainable development. It encourages collaboration among governments, communities, and organizations to implement strategies that minimize disaster impacts and protect lives, property, and ecosystems. Ultimately, it aims for a safer world where communities can better withstand and recover from disasters.
