Mission

The University of London was established by Royal Charter in 1836 for the public benefit and is recognised globally. Throughout its long history, the university has offered access to a wide range of academic opportunities. As a world leader in higher education, the university has pioneered change in the sector.

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.
