The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction is a global agreement adopted in 2015 to improve disaster preparedness and resilience. It aims to reduce disaster risks and losses by enhancing countries' capabilities to anticipate, respond to, and recover from disasters. The framework emphasizes the importance of understanding risks, involving communities in decision-making, and promoting sustainable development. It sets four priorities: understanding disaster risk, strengthening disaster risk governance, investing in disaster risk reduction, and enhancing disaster preparedness. Overall, the framework strives to create safer, more resilient societies in the face of natural and human-made hazards.
