SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) addresses “the risk of small-
scale and large-scale, frequent and infrequent, sudden and slow-onset disasters, caused by
natural or manmade hazards as well as related environmental, technological and biological
hazards and risks. It considers climate change as one of the drivers of risk. It aims to guide the
multi-hazard management of disaster risk in development at all levels as well as within and
across all sectors.
DOST supports the Framework by subscribing to the Four Priorities for Action it identified,
namely:
Priority 1. Understanding disaster risk
Priority 2. Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk
Priority 3. Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience
Priority 4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response, and to “Build Back
Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction
