Lessons Learned in Building Resilience - Over the Past 3 Years

During the last years the world has faced an increasing number of disasters with far-reaching social, economic and structural disruption. 

On the 11th of March 2020, the World Health Organisation, announced the covid-19 pandemic. Due to climate change and environmental degradation we are facing a rapid increase in hazard severity and frequency.

The negative consequences of these disasters are devastating, but we can learn from them.  When people work together, they thrive together. Our lives are entirely interdependent and disasters - from COVID to climate induced disasters - perhaps more than any other events, demonstrate this reality.

This session will address and bring light to lessons learned from the last three years, and how this can inform future strategies and work in the field of disaster risk reduction.

Session Objectives 

  1. Share good practices and lessons learned in building disaster resilience, and that in an ever changing world.
  2. Enhance the understanding about the evolution of the UNDRR Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (UNDRR-SEM) and its recent work in implementing the Sendai Framework.
  3. Bring attention to the Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments, and its citizens led data collection in monitoring the Sendai Framework implementation, and generation of accountability mechanism of realising global policy.
