High-Level Meeting on the Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework

2023 marks the midpoint in implementing the Sendai Framework, the 2030 Agenda, and other 2015 agreements. The Midterm Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 will conclude in May 2023, with countries and stakeholders invited to conduct consultations and provide input through 2022.

What is this event?

The High-Level Meeting (HLM) on the Midterm Review provides a platform for Member States, the United Nations system partners, and other stakeholders to reflect on the findings and recommendations of the Midterm Review.

Why is it important to participate?

The event is an important opportunity for the private sector and ARISE members to participate in discussions with Member States and other stakeholders and reflect on progress made, examine context shifts and emerging issues since 2015, identify course corrections and new initiatives for more effectively addressing the systemic nature of risk and achieve the outcomes of the Sendai Framework, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement, and other frameworks.
