Thematic Study: Evidence of positive progress on Disaster Risk Reduction in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace nexus

This report contributes to deepening our collective understanding of the potential role of DRR within the HDP nexus; a gap identified as part of the consultative processes leading up to the Mid-Term Review of the Sendai Framework. We do not focus here on the challenges and barriers to action. Drawing on an extensive review of published material as well as insights from experts, this report showcases examples of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) policy, practice and financing as it relates to the HDP nexus. This includes: DRR linked to humanitarian action; adapted to conflict and crisis contexts, and; collaborations to advance action on systemic risks.

Organised around the four Sendai Framework priorities, examples are provided for over 30 of the Sendai Framework priority areas, leading to over 60 actionable recommendations.
