The Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted at the Third. UN World Conference
in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015.
The Sendai Framework is a
15-year, voluntary, non-binding agreement which recognizes that the State has
the primary role to reduce disaster risk but that responsibility should be
shared with other stakeholders including local government, the private sector
and other stakeholders. It aims for the following outcome:
The substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods and health and in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities and countries.
The Sendai Framework is the successor instrument to the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters. It is the outcome of stakeholder consultations initiated in March 2012 and inter-governmental negotiations held from July 2014 to March 2015, which were supported by the UNISDR upon the request of the UN General Assembly.
