Mission

Economist Impact combines the rigour of a think-tank with the creativity of a media brand to engage an influential global audience. It partners with corporations, foundations, NGOs and governments across big themes including sustainability, health and the changing shape of globalisation to catalyse change and enable progress, using a potent portfolio of capabilities including:

policy research and insights
branded content
media & advertising
design thinking and data visualisation
global and bespoke events

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.
