In adopting the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030, Member States committed to the systematic and cyclical measurement, monitoring and reporting of progress in achieving the outcome and goal of the framework. At the global level, progress is to be measured against the seven global targets and associated indicators. The indicators were developed by the Members and observers of the Open-ended intergovernmental expert working group on indicators and terminology relating to disaster risk reduction (OIEWG), to be able to capture progress in the prevention of new, and the reduction of existing risk, and the strengthening of resilience of persons, businesses, communities and countries. Furthermore, in endorsing the proposal for a global indicator framework for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, in which were included key global indicators of the Sendai Framework, Member States placed the reduction of disaster risk at the heart of sustainable development.
This Summary Report addresses the key findings of the Sendai Framework Data Readiness Review (henceforth referred to as the Review), and presents them in four chapters that reflect some of the key characteristics of data.
