Midterm review 2023: working towards the achievement of the Sendai priorities and targets

At the occasion of the Midterm Review, the objective of this document is twofold: To provide a non-exhaustive overview of key initiatives taken at EU level that have contributed to the four priorities and three (out of seven) targets of the Framework. As regards the targets, this document focuses on the qualitative targets that do not rely on data that would need to be provided by Member States. To reiterate the EU’s commitment to contribute to the achievement, by 2030, of the goals and targets of the Framework.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) report on the Main Findings and Recommendations of the Midterm Review of the Implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030114 has shown that, despite progress, the pace of implementation is too slow. Overall, the international community is not fully on track to achieve the Framework expected outcome and goals by 2030.
