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.

In this study, the authors project the spatiotemporal trend of future exposure risk across 9188 global urban settlements between 2020 and 2100 under the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) 2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios.
Record-breaking rainfall events are occurring more frequently in a warming climate. Impacts on lives and livelihoods disproportionately occur in traditionally underserved communities, particularly in urban areas.
This article discusses a new tool that can be used to map the benefits of nature in cities. Natural infrastructure such as parks, forests, street trees, green roofs, and coastal vegetation is central to sustainable urban management.
This publication discusses how global climate projections suggest a significant intensification of summer heat extremes in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
This paper examines infrastructure resilience to navigate increasingly uncertain and complex conditions in the Anthropocene.
