The Scientific and Technical Advisory Group was formed in 2012, succeeding the Scientific and Technical Committee (STC). The members of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Group are drawn from across the globe and from different scientific disciplines; the current members are listed here.

Voluntary Commitments

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
