Mission

The International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) is an independent foundation that involves a public-private partnership which supports various sectors such as governments, business and other organizations in developing and developed countries.

Disaster Reduction Goal

The IRGC creates value by offering a unique platform for global debate and as a source of compiled, and if possible unified, scientific knowledge. IRGC also elaborates generic recommendations and guidelines. As a new kind of transparent network it follows a transsectoral and multidisciplinary approach on global issues of governance, focused on both traditional changing and emerging human-induced risks.

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.
