Whole of Society Approach in Implementing the Sendai Framework
Partnerships and all-of-society approaches lie at the heart of effective disaster risk reduction. Building resilience and promoting risk-informed decision-making and investment are collective challenges and responsibilities, which call upon a collaboration between governments, the United Nations and other international organizations and stakeholder groups at large.
The UNDRR Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (SEM) was created in 2018, to support the implementation of Sendai Framework paragraph (36) and (48) which outlines the role of stakeholders in building resilience.
This session will showcase the commitment of the SEM stakeholders` group in implementing the Sendai Framework, and more specifically the SEM Action Plan. The panel will invite representatives of the SEM stakeholder groups to report on the outcome of the Stakeholder Forums constituency sessions, as well as their work on a whole of society approach in building resilience.
Session objectives
- Provide a space for SEM stakeholder groups to report on the outcome of the constituency focused sessions in the 2nd Stakeholder Forum.
- Showcase good practice in an all-of society approach in building resilience, and the benefit it brings to the wider society.
