Sendai Stakeholder Mechanism (SEM) policy priorities at COP28

These recommendations have been developed by the Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (SEM) and represent the collective contributions of its sixteen stakeholder constituencies. By taking into account the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, these points are designed to reflect a broad and inclusive approach to risk reduction and climate change action.

Acknowledging the urgency of climate change impacts and growing disaster risk, the SEM emphasizes the need for fully accessible early warning systems and early action. Investments in advanced monitoring and early warning systems need to be connected to all networks, including broadcast, that could bring life-saving information to each individual for free and in the most accessible way.
