2030 Recommendations of the United Nations Senior Leadership Group on Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience

The United Nations Senior Leadership Group (UN SLG) on Disaster Risk Reduction endorsed the 2030 UN SLG recommendations, which will guide the UN system-wide support on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and resilience building until 2030, and complement the commitments made in the UN Plan of Action on DRR for Resilience. 

The UN SLG was established by the UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) to ensure that disaster and climate risk reduction remains a priority for the United Nations system, and also to enhance cooperation, coordination and mutual reinforcement for coherent system-wide actions.

Based on the findings and recommendations of the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework (MTR SF) and Member States’ call upon United Nations entities in the Political Declaration of the MTR SF, the UN SLG committed to supporting the following priorities until 2030:

1. Strengthen risk governance at all levels, including within and across sectors.
2. Accelerate efforts to include risk-informed programming in development, humanitarian and peace actions.
3. Support efforts related to investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience and reforming the financial system to better consider climate change, the environment and other risks.

4. Boost inclusive disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation measures.

   4.1. Scale up and systematize an all-of-society approach by strengthening inclusion and applying a human rights-based approach to disaster risk reduction to leave no one behind.

   4.2. Enable gender-responsive disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.

   4.3. Scale up and systematize child-responsive disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.

5. Maximize efforts around strengthening multi-hazard early warning systems.
