Sendai Framework for DRR 2015-2030
UNITAR’s Training Offers on Disaster Risk Reduction
The year 2015 is an exciting year for the international community, as many global agreements are being discussed that will shape peace and development efforts for the years to come. The first global milestone of this post-2015 era is the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, which has been adopted by 187 UN Member States on 18 March in Sendai, Japan.
