Reading the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 - 2030 | PreventionWeb.net

The purpose of this paper is to offer a reading of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the new global instrument to manage disaster risk, adopted by the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in March 20151. The consultations and negotiations were very rich and the final text, expected to be “concise”, was not necessarily suited to explicitly contain all the details, explanations and rationales. While not an exhaustive reading and interpretation, this reading aims at “unpacking” some aspects and stimulating further reflections to support, and be considered, in the work ahead.
