The Sustainable Development Goals, the
Sendai Framework and the Paris Climate
Agreement call for a significant shift from
piecemeal international assistance towards
harmonized and coordinated support that
is aligned with country priorities in order to
risk-inform development. The session will
offer a facilitated discussion among partners
and member states on existing and new
DRR partnership and financing approaches,
explore their opportunities and challenges,
and how they need to further evolve to
achieve the Sendai targets at country level.
The event is jointly organized by the members
of the 5-10-50 Partnership for Risk-Informed
Development; the Capacity for Disaster
Reduction Initiative (CADRI); and Global
Preparedness Partnership (GPP), and seeks
to reach out to other partners in a Davos style
format.
