Overview
The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the UN agency tasked with coordinating global efforts to reduce disaster risk and build resilient communities. Established in 1999, it champions the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, a 15-year international treaty adopted by UN Member States in 2015. UNDRR works with governments, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to integrate disaster risk reduction into development planning and to promote a culture of prevention. Its work spans data collection, policy advice, advocacy, and the facilitation of partnerships, aiming to significantly decrease disaster losses and build a safer, more sustainable future for all.
