Welcome to the United Nations
United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is at the core of this year’s HLPF theme. The outcomes of the 2022 Global Platform for DRR, hosted by the Government of Indonesia, and 2021 Regional Platforms for DRR, hosted by the Governments of Jamaica, Kenya, Morocco, and Portugal, offer policy guidance and practical solutions to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework and foster a transition from creating risk to building resilience. Global and Regional Platforms are jointly organized by the host country and UNDRR.
This event will provide participants with an overview of the outcomes of the Global and Regional Platforms and their guidance for risk-informed and prevention-oriented implementation of the 2030 Agenda, including the SDGs under review in 2022. Global and Regional Platforms are key steppingstones towards the 2023 High-level Meeting of the General Assembly on the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework, which will provide forward-looking guidance to accelerate its implementation, including providing direction on how to address drivers of disaster risk in a systemic manner for sustainability and resilience in a COVID-19 transformed world.
The Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework will feed into the 2023 global stock-takes on the SDGs and Paris Agreement. It will also inform recommendations from the Secretary-General’s report on “Our Common Agenda, drawing links with the Strategic Foresight and Global Risk Report and the Futures Lab, towards addressing existing and future risks for a climate- and disaster-resilient future for all.
