The Sendai Framework: How it connects to the global financial system

This thematic study forms an input in the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction’s Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework of 2015.

The study concerns itself with the Global Financial System. It describes how it has interacted with the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) agenda since the publication of the Framework and the challenges and opportunities the global financial system presents and promises for DRR. The study concludes by making recommendations on how the global financial system could be re-aligned to minimise unwanted effects on DRR and bring its power and ingenuity to bear on delivering the greatest benefit to the priorities established by the Framework.
