The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 is a global agreement that outlines concrete actions for states to protect development gains from the risk of disaster. It was the first major agreement of the post-2015 development agenda, endorsed by the UN General Assembly following the 2015 Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction [1].
The framework emphasizes the substantial reduction of disaster risk and losses in lives, livelihoods, health, and in the economic, physical, social, cultural, and environmental assets of persons, businesses, communities, and countries. It recognizes that while the state has the primary role in reducing disaster risk, the responsibility should also be shared with local government, the private sector, and other stakeholders [1].
In terms of emergency management, the Sendai Framework is crucial as it guides the integration of disaster risk measures into emergency management policies and plans. It focuses on understanding disaster risk, strengthening disaster risk governance, investing in disaster risk reduction, and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response [1]. By doing so, it aims to build the resilience of nations and communities to disasters. The framework covers not only natural but also technological hazards, representing an evolution compared to its predecessor, the Hyogo Framework for Action [2].
