Stakeholders engagement in GP2025

The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP2025) is organized in an inclusive consultative, and open manner. Wide stakeholder consultation and participation in the Global Platform is encouraged, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility by all stakeholder groups.

What is UNDRR Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (SEM)?

In 2018, UNDRR set up the UNDRR-SEM to leverage the convening and advocacy powers of the Major Groups and other stakeholders (MGoS)  and other stakeholder groups for the integration of disaster risk reduction into the broader 2030 Agenda. The SEM creates an open and structured avenue for for close engagement of stakeholders with UNDRR and i the implementation of the Sendai Framework. Additionally, it ensures the integration of disaster risk reduction into the broader framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The SEM is instrumental in:

  1. Empowering an inclusive moment for implementing the Sendai Framework across all segments of society.
  2. Influencing policy design and implementation at various levels.
  3. Strengthening citizen-led accountability mechanisms.
  4. Promoting coordination and collaboration among diverse stakeholder groups, including interactions with United Nations entities, member States, Parliamentarians, and other governmental organizations.
