Ms Mizutori who is also the Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) also addressed the Bundestag Committee on Economic Cooperation and Development where she emphasized the important role of parliamentarians in ensuring action on disaster risk reduction at domestic and international levels.

“Germany’s continued political and financial support towards the implementation of the Sendai Framework is indispensable. The support provided by Germany to UNISDR demonstrates your commitment, not only to achieving the targets of the Sendai Framework, but to support others in doing so,” she said.

Under the three-year agreement, the increased funding will support UNISDR’s Strategic Framework including ensuring coherence between the Sendai Framework, SDGs, the Paris Agreement for climate change and the New Urban Agenda.
