Japan CSO Coalition for Disaster Risk Reduction (JCC-DRR)

In order to systematically and collectively approach issues towards 2015, several NGOs established a new network, called the Japan CSO Coalition for 2015 WCDRR (JCC2015). The network will function until March 2015 with the following objectives:

1. To contribute global DRR movement by sharing experience of civil society as well as disaster affected population in Japan at World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in 2015.
2. To advocate for proactive inclusion of nuclear risks at World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in 2015 as well as within HFA2.
3. To share both domestic and international grassroots experiences of Japanese CSOs for tackling frequently occurring disasters and critical elements of disaster resilience including specific requirements for vulnerable segments of the population, building resilient communities, and adapting to climate change.

After the 2015 WCCRR, JCC2015 was re-named and re-configured as the Japan CSO Coalition on DRR (JCC-DRR) to monitor the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) and to promote disaster risk reduction for future disasters.

The Japan CSOs Coalition for 2015 WCDRR has been set up by the following organizations:
