MSP1: Regional progress on implementation of the Sendai Framework and MTR recommendations

This plenary will assess regional progress in implementing the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, focusing on achievements and challenges since the 2023 Midterm Review. While considerable improvements have been observed in five of the seven targets (A–E), implementation at the regional level has been uneven, with significant disparities across different areas.

The session aims to foster collaboration among Governments, intergovernmental organizations and stakeholders to address these disparities and learn from successful regional efforts. Participants will discuss “course-correcting” priorities towards 2030, identify gaps in DRR, and explore strategies for strengthening regional cooperation, knowledge-sharing and multi-stakeholder partnerships to ensure inclusive and sustainable risk reduction.

Guiding Questions

Delegations are requested to focus their 3-minute intervention in the multistakeholder plenary on the following questions.

1. To what extent has progress been made on implementing the Sendai Framework at regional or sub-regional levels since the Midterm review (May2023)? Host countries of the 2023-24 Regional Platforms for DRR are invited in particular to address this question.
2. Building on past experiences and lessons learned, including from other regions, what perspectives and particular priorities should the regional actors focus on up until 2030?
3. What are three ‘game-changing’ factors in multi-stakeholder regional cooperation you can share from experience that can help advance transboundary disaster risk reduction?
