European Union: Sendai Action Plan for disaster risk reduction
This European Union's Action Plan, covering a five-year period, is the basis for a disaster-risk-informed approach to policy making.
Through an all-society engagement, the Plan proposes concrete activities to promote risk knowledge, risk investments, disaster preparedness and resilience, thereby reinforcing the EU priorities of competitiveness, research and innovation and supporting resilient sustainable development worldwide.
The projects supported by the Plan will create synergies between disaster risk reduction and climate change strategies, and strengthen capacities of cities in addressing disaster risks.
