The DRR working group meeting is scheduled to take place from March 30 to April 1 in Gandhinagar.
The newly created Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) working group of G20 established under India’s Presidency will hold its first meeting in Gujarat next week.
Member Secretary of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Kamal Kishore said, “The world is witnessing some gaps in terms of meeting the targets that were enshrined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was adopted by 187 countries across the world in 2015.”
“It’s a 15-year framework from 2015 to 2030, and it has set targets for reducing mortality from disasters, reducing the number of people affected by disasters, reducing economic losses, and reducing infrastructure losses,” he added.
