Displaying 8 of about 8 resultsUNDRR developed a water survey to collect water community views, experiences and proposals to inform the Sendai Framework and Water Action Decade MTRs. Between 7 June and 16 September 2022, 20 responses were received to the water survey, including from UN-Water members and observers.
The objective of the water community survey was to collect water comm…
The ‘Scoping study on compound, cascading and systemic risks in the Asia-Pacific’, undertaken by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) and Asia Pacific Scientific and Technical Advisory Group (AP-STAG), presents an important opportunity to explore the challenges and potential associated with better understanding and managing of c…
Bangladesh and the Netherlands share one thing in common: both are situated in low-lying lands, making them prone to floods and other water management issues.
Around 40% of the Netherlands lies below sea level, while 70% of Bangladesh's land is within 1 meter to 3 meters above sea level.

Since the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was adopted in 2015, our understanding of systemic risk has changed. As socio-ecological and technological systems become ever more interconnected and interdependent, disasters, economic loss, poverty and inequality are increasing just as ecosystems and biospheres ar…
This paper discusses potential of earth observation (EO) in providing simplistic and operational tools for the systemic risk analysis to complement Indigenous Knowledges covering nature-based solutions (NBS). This approach helps to address the techno-cultural complexities and provide robust baselines to meet the 2030 Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduc…

This contributing paper presents the results of a project implemented to assess the systemic risks of floods and landslides in selected river basins by integrating climate change projections into risk assessments. It follows a recent study on the status of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) integration in institu…
In the context of the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework, this thematic study has been developed to provide insights into planetary boundaries science and how best to elevate the importance of risk-informed development in the key global regimes such as the SDGs, the Paris Agreement, the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, Financing for Developm…
