Side event
European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction
UN Women co-hosted a side event on progress and challenges in the gender-responsive implementation of the Sendai Framework.
The European Forum for Disaster Risk Reduction (EFDRR) forms the regional platform structure of Europe. The triennial EFDRR has established itself as an important vehicle to address the regional disaster risk challenges. It serves as a forum for other stakeholders to take a shared responsibility and make actionable commitments to reduce disaster risk.
The conference, true to the multi-stakeholder spirit of the Sendai Framework, enables governments and stakeholders to exchange experiences on successful practices and innovative approaches to prevent, reduce, and manage disaster risk. This results in forward looking action plans based on a mutual sharing status of disaster risk reduction implementation.
