Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction

The report argues that disaster risks are increasing in magnitude and complexity, outpacing current capacities to manage them. It emphasizes that disaster risk reduction is not merely an add-on to climate adaptation but a prerequisite for successful adaptation and the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.

• Disasters are increasing in magnitude and impact on lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems, which reverses development progress and diminishes the capacity of communities to handle future disruptions.
• Risk patterns are becoming more complex due to the interaction of natural, socio-natural, technological, and biological hazards, alongside environmental changes that create compounding and cascading impacts.
• Effective climate adaptation and the realization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depend on the integration of disaster risk reduction capabilities across multiple scales, rather than treating DRR as a secondary addition to adaptation.
