As Prof. Shaw, chair of G-STAG, said, the online platform allows organizations to record their commitments as well as be reminded about the progress and deliverables. Moreover, Prof. Shaw underlined the opportunity to widely share your efforts globally. These aspects strengthen the idea that building resilience is a responsibility of all, as the Sendai Framework advocates for the all of society engagement. Organizations can identify crossovers with others in the field and potential partners with whom to collaborate to maximise impact.

If your organization is working on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), make a voluntary commitment to show case your efforts and highlight your achievements.

The platform is always open for submissions. However, those commitments submitted by 8 March 2019 will be included in the first Analysis Report to be presented at the Global Platform 2019 in Geneva.
