Mission

Copernicus Publications is a publisher of high quality literature in science since 1994 and an Open Access publisher since 2001. It is specialized in serving scientific associations in publishing and distributing their journals and plays a leading role in the area of transparent Public Peer-Review.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
