Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030
A/RES/69/283
support national measures for successful disaster risk communication, as appropriate
and in accordance with national laws;
(d) To promote common efforts in partnership with the scientific and
technological community, academia and the private sector to establish, disseminate
and share good practices internationally;
(e) To support the development of local, national, regional and global userfriendly systems and services for the exchange of information on good practices,
cost-effective and easy-to-use disaster risk reduction technologies and lessons
learned on policies, plans and measures for disaster risk reduction;
(f) To develop effective global and regional campaigns as instruments for
public awareness and education, building on the existing ones (for example, the
“One million safe schools and hospitals” initiative; the “Making Cities Resilient:
My city is getting ready” campaign; the United Nations Sasakawa Award for
Disaster Risk Reduction; and the annual United Nations International Day for
Disaster Reduction), to promote a culture of disaster prevention, resilience and
responsible citizenship, generate understanding of disaster risk, support mutual
learning and share experiences; and encourage public and private stakeholders to
actively engage in such initiatives and to develop new ones at the local, national,
regional and global levels;
(g) To enhance the scientific and technical work on disaster risk reduction
and its mobilization through the coordination of existing networks and scientific
research institutions at all levels and in all regions, with the support of the United
Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction Scientific and Technical Advisory
Group, in order to strengthen the evidence-base in support of the implementation of
the present Framework; promote scientific research on disaster risk patterns, causes
and effects; disseminate risk information with the best use of geospatial information
technology; provide guidance on methodologies and standards for risk assessments,
disaster risk modelling and the use of data; identify research and technology gaps
and set recommendations for research priority areas in disaster risk reduction;
promote and support the availability and application of science and technology to
decision-making; contribute to the update of the publication entitled “2009 UNISDR
Terminology on Disaster Risk Reduction”; use post-disaster reviews as opportunities to
enhance learning and public policy; and disseminate studies;
(h) To encourage the availability of copyrighted and patented materials,
including through negotiated concessions, as appropriate;
(i) To enhance access to and support for innovation and technology, as well
as in long-term, multi-hazard and solution-driven research and development in the
field of disaster risk management.
Priority 2: Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk
26. Disaster risk governance at the national, regional and global levels is of great
importance for an effective and efficient management of disaster risk. Clear vision,
plans, competence, guidance and coordination within and across sectors, as well as
participation of relevant stakeholders, are needed. Strengthening disaster risk
governance for prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery and
rehabilitation is therefore necessary and fosters collaboration and partnership across
mechanisms and institutions for the implementation of instruments relevant to
disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.
