dimensions, including extreme poverty;

global progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework as part of the

summits, aligned with the Economic and Social Council, the high-level political

cycles, as appropriate, taking into account the contributions of the Global Platform
for Disaster Risk Reduction and regional and subregional platforms for disaster risk
reduction and the Sendai Framework monitor;
