The G20 DRR Working Group aims to integrate risk reduction measures into public and private sector investment decisions and policy making to reduce existing risk, prevent the creation of new risk and, ultimately, build resilient economies, societies, and natural systems.
Current economic choices and development pathways are not in line with the commitments to reduce risk contained in the Sendai Framework as well as the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement. The G20 DRR Working Group is committed to changing this through the development of policy guidance, exchange of technical knowledge, promotion of capacity building, and identification of new approaches to financing that prioritize risk reduction and resilience.
South Africa is the current President of the G20 DRR Working Group.
The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the Secretariat of the G20 DRR Working Group.
