G20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group Ministerial Declaration
The Ministerial Declaration issued by the G20 serves as a stepping stone towards the integration of disaster risk reduction into the global economic architecture and development discourse.
In the port city of Belém, Brazil, participating G20 ministers and delegates adopted a Ministerial Declaration that called for greater action to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, which is the global blueprint for reducing disaster losses by the year 2030.
The Declaration also calls on the Working Group and its knowledge partners to explore the development of voluntary high-level principles in support of Priority 3 of the Sendai Framework, which calls for investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience, for the consideration of the G20 in 2025.
