Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Commitments (SFVC) online platform serves to incentivize stakeholders to inform the public about their work, to provide a vehicle for sharing commitments and initiatives and for motivation toward the implementation of the Sendai Framework. In turn, UNDRR can monitor and take stock of the progress and impact.

Being among the most vulnerable countries in the world to flood damage, the Philippines needs to protect its natural defenses from habitat degradation and destruction. A new report quantitatively values the benefits provided by mangroves across the Philippines and finds that they reduce the damage from flooding to people and property by 25 percent annually.
This report - reviews the existing and potential funding avenues for natural infrastructure, examines the barriers that prevent the broader use of these natural solutions, and proposes a framework to identify when and where natural infrastruc
In this report, The Nature Conservancy - in coordination with C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group - explores how nature can play a role in helping to solve the twin challenges of air pollution and excess heat.
Heatwaves are one of the world's most underestimated threats, killing more than 12,000 people every year around the world - more than any other weather-related event. On top of that, cities tend to have higher levels of air pollution, which contribute to more than 3 million deaths every year. One relatively simple solution to this problem? Plant more trees in cities.
Using risk industry-based models to assess natural defences in the northeastern United States of America (USA).
This study illustrates the direct and indirect flood risk reduction benefits that coastal wetlands provide by reduc
As communities recover from Hurricane Matthew, a new study finds more than $600 million in property losses were prevented during Hurricane Sandy by coastal habitats - and expect the effects of Matthew will demonstrate similar protections. By quantifying the economic value of natural defenses they can be more effectively included in risk models and coastal management.
This report considers the use of natural infrastructure to address flood and other climate change–induced risks in an urban area, New York City community of Howard Beach, Queens.
The Nature Conservancy launches new partnerships and two demonstration projects in Miami-Dade County, South-Florida, highlighting the use of nature-based infrastructure solutions to address climate impacts. Mangroves, coral reefs, wetlands and dunes can serve as an important line of defense for coastal and community protection.
