Question

Which of the following is NOT one of the four priority actions of the Sendai Framework?

• A. Understanding Disaster Risk
• B. Investing in Disaster Risk Reduction
• C. Establishing a Global Disaster Fund
• D. Strengthening Disaster Risk Governance

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Establishing a Global Disaster Fund

Establishing a Global Disaster Fund is NOT one of the four priority actions of the Sendai Framework.

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) outlines a clear, action-oriented approach to reduce disaster risks. It provides a global blueprint with four specific priority actions for all countries to follow:

1. Understanding disaster risk: This involves assessing and monitoring risks to inform decision-making.

2. Strengthening disaster risk governance: This focuses on creating policies and institutions to manage disaster risk.

3. Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience: This encourages public and private sector investment in risk reduction measures.

4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to "Build Back Better": This involves strengthening early warning systems and ensuring a resilient recovery after a disaster.

While the framework highlights the importance of financial resources, it does not specifically call for the establishment of a new global fund. Instead, it emphasizes leveraging existing resources and encouraging strategic investment from both public and private sectors to build resilience.
