The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) published on their web page the 2025 Global Status of National Disaster Risk Reduction Strategies entitled Governance in action: towards resilient and risk-informed development.
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is not merely a technical endeavour; it is a fundamental pillar of good governance. It reflects a government’s capacity to protect its people, infrastructure, and economy from the growing complexity of risks in today’s world. Among the seven global targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Target E stands out as a critical enabler. It calls for the substantial increase in the number of countries with national and local DRR strategies.
