ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The conference aims to bring together the full diversity of the science and technology community, policy makers, practitioners and researchers from all geographical regions, at local, national, regional and international levels to discuss how the science and technology community will best support the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

The UNISDR Science and Technology Conference on the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 will promote and support the availability and application of science and technology to decision-making in Disaster Risk Reduction.

The conference will launch the UNISDR Science and Technology Partnership for the implementation of the Sendai Framework and discuss and endorse the UNISDR Science and Technology (S&T) road map.

The S&T roadmap will define the expected outcomes of the science and technology work under each of the four Sendai Framework priority areas of actions and the ways to monitor progress and needs.

The main conference outcomes are to launch the UNISDR Science and Technology Partnership for the implementation of the Sendai Framework; and adopt the UNISDR Science and Technology 15 year road map (the draft road map will be available for input on the conference website in October).

Interactive sessions will be organised around four themes:

1) Scientific and technical partnership to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework:

2) Understanding disaster risk, risk assessment and early warning;

3) Use of science, technology and innovation tools, methods and standards to support the implementation and reporting of Sendai Framework and

4) Leveraging science through capacity development and research.

Please note the following deadlines:
