Disaster Risk Reduction enhancing governance to help address vulnerable groups – building back better

Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future

This side event will build on this and the fact that in 2023 both the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction will have their mid-term reviews.    

The COVID 19 pandemic and climate change have shown the need to build strong resilient and inclusive governance structures that support vulnerable populations and leave no one behind.    Our goals are to Look at adaptive governance capabilities at the national, sub-national, and local levels to enable equitable disaster risk reduction and resilience in development planning and development programmes; compare a developed country and a developing country approach, and what lessons might be gained on governance and approaches to vulnerable groups.    

We will look at SDG 5 and other vulnerable groups, and the critical role that sustainable development education can play in building stronger capacity within the research field in developing countries.  

Ultimately, to contribute to an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary agenda where governments' plans for disaster risk reduction and resilience enable equitable disaster risk reduction and resilience in development planning and development programmes.
