Stakeholder Forum is an international multi-stakeholder organisation working on sustainable development; supporting the increased involvement of stakeholders in international and national governance processes. The organisation played a key role in the preparations for and follow-up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development. It is the lead organisation in the development and facilitating of multi-stakeholder processes for sustainable development.
Initially Stakeholder Forum was UNEP-UK, hosted by IIED from 1987 to 1992, and then UNED-UK from 1993 to 2000. It acted as the National Committee for UNEP in the UK and the first Northern Focal Point for UNDP. In 2000 it became an international multi-stakeholder organization called Stakeholder Forum for Our Common Future hosted by UNA-UK (1993-2004).
Stakeholder Forum is now an independent organization with a small staffed secretariat based in London and staff, partners and consultants around the globe.
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.
