Stakeholder Forum: Opening Ceremony

The Sendai Framework calls for an all of society approach in building disaster resilience. The Stakeholder Forum will provide a space for discussions about how to strengthen collaboration and all-of-society approaches in the implementation of the Sendai Framework in coherence with the other 2030 Agendas.

This Opening Ceremony of the Stakeholder Forum will set the stage for the GPDRR-week. We will hear from a variety of representatives from the United Nation system, national Governments, local, private and community leaders – sharing commitment for engaging stakeholders. 

The UNDRR Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism will also present  the Stakeholder Declaration, which unifies the voices of all parts of the society and provides recommendations on building disaster resilience. The Ceremony culminates with a spiritual blessing from the Indiginous Community.
