UNDRR SEM Value Proposition_Small_Heading UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT MECHANISM VALUE PROPOSITION Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is the concept and practice of reducing and preventing disaster risk and building resilience to any remaining residual risk. [...] It creates an open and structured avenue to leverage the voice and action of stakeholders in support of the implementation of the Sendai Framework and integration of disaster risk reduction, prevention and resilience, and systemic into the broader 2030 Agenda. [...] We believe that unsustainable patterns of social, political, and economic systems that prioritise a growth- first mentality and the pursuit of power, aggravate rather than ameliorate the challenges for sustainable development and resilience. [...] We believe that we all need to put the reality of our shared humanity and dependence on the wellbeing of the planet and each other at the center of our deliberations and actions. [...] OBJECTIVES OF SEM To promote an all of society engagement in building disaster resilience To mobilise and strengthen the voice of stakeholders in the implementation of the Sendai Framework To catalyse collective action among different stakeholders for risk-informed development To co-create and co-design innovative solutions and approaches to implement the Sendai Framework and build coherence acros.
