Sendai Update: What is the Value for Organisations and Communities?

07 Oct 2026
Assembly Hall
Track 1: Organisational Resilience: Threats and Opportunities
One of the great criticism of the Sendai framework is that its grand scale does not really translate to resilience and better disaster risk reduction on the ground. But is this really fair? As the historic Sendai framework moves towards closure, this session looks at what has been achieved, and what is still left to do to really make a difference to people, communities and society. Join the architects and implementers of the framework for lively discussion reflecting on the real legacy of this ambitious project.
