Call for paper on the special issue: Reviewing Five Year Progress of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2020)
In 2020, the SFDRR will achieve its first five year milestone. This call for paper aims to review the five year progress of the SFDRR implementation, from the global, regional and local level. It asks the question of How has the SFDRR been mainstreamed and implemented, at different levels by different organisations, and what are the important lessons to guide its implementation in the 10 year?
Key topics:
Below are the list of possible topics that we are particularly sought for, including but not limited to:.
- Progress of SFDRR implementation at the global, regional and national level
- Review of progress in achieving the Sendai 7 Goals or 4 Priorities
- Progress in mainstreaming of disasters into key development sectors (e.g. health, gender, education, etc)
- The role of UNDRR, or key agencies responsible for DRR at the regional or national level
- Progress in localising the SFDRR
- The role of non-government organisations in implementing the SFDRR
- Coherence between SDGs and SFDRR and/or Paris Agreement
- Consideration of leaving no-one behind in DRR, e.g. inclusion of people with disability, vulnerable groups, displaced persons, those under humanitarian emergencies
- Progress in science and technology on DRR post 2015
- How tools and mechanisms from SFDRR is beneficial and used in responding to COVID-19. As this call for paper is issued, the world is experiencing the impacts of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
- The SFDRR strongly recognises health issues and hence reviewing how COVID-19 influences country and society is also considered.
