- Duties and Responsibilities Background Created in December 1999, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) is the designated focal point in the United Nations system for the coordination of efforts to reduce disasters and to ensure synergies among the disaster reduction activities of the United Nations and regional organizations and activities in both developed and less developed countries. Led by the United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction (SRSG), UNDRR has over 140 staff located in its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and in regional offices. Specifically, UNDRR guides, monitors, analyses and reports on progress in the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, supports regional and national implementation of the Framework and catalyzes action and increases global awareness to reduce disaster risk working with UN Member States and a broad range of partners and stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, parliamentarians and the science and technology community. As the focal point for DRR in the UN system, UNDRR coordinates the UN-system-wide implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Sendai Framework). In 2016, the UN system adopted the “UN Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction for Resilience: Towards a Risk informed and Integrated Approach to Sustainable Development” (UN Plan of Action), defining the support of the UN system towards the implementation of the Sendai Framework, promoting a risk-informed and integrated approach to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The UN Plan of Action addresses the need for coherence and re-enforcement of the UN's resilience building efforts to ensure that the UN system responds adequately to the different regional and country needs and contexts with regard to disaster risk reduction. The UN Plan of Action is one of the main tools for maximizing UN efforts to support countries in strengthening risk-informed development programming, planning and investment and ensure that no one is left behind. UNDRR chairs two global mechanisms that facilitate the implementation of the UN Plan of Action: (1) the high-level UN Senior Leadership Group on DRR for Resilience (UN SLG) guides the implementation of the UN Plan of Action; and (2) the technical level DRR Focal Points Group (UN DRR FPG) that supports the implementation. In July 2024, the UN SLG decided to strengthen efforts to align DRR support to UN Country Teams (UNCTs) with the SDG Transitions approach adopted by the UN Sustainable Development Group in 2024. Rooted in the 17 Goals, six transformative entry points and investment pathways have been identified that can have catalytic and multiplier effects across the SDGs. This includes (1) food systems; (2) energy access and affordability; (3) digital connectivity; (4) education; (5) jobs and social protection; and (6) climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution. The six transitions are underpinned by four enablers, focusing on driving shifts across policy and regulatory frameworks, ensuring pipelines of bankable and market-ready national projects, convening all relevant actors to attract the needed financing from all sources, and capacity building at scale to support public institutions and civil society in this process. These six SDG transitions and four enablers are currently guiding UNCTs in their efforts to accelerate progress towards sustainable development by 2030. The Joint SDG Fund is a key mechanism to support joint UN action towards the SDG transitions. The Mid-Term Review of the Sendai Framework Political Declaration affirmed ‘the urgency of implementing the Sendai Framework as an integral part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to adopt a risk-informed approach to sustainable development’ (paragraph 10). Increasingly, systemic, cascading and compounding risks, including climate change, conflict, and pandemics, threaten to undermine progress towards the SDGs, particularly among the most vulnerable people and countries. Investing in disaster risk reduction and resilience-building is essential to enable transformation in the five remaining years until 2030, while leaving no one behind. The UN DRR FPG has developed guidance on Integrating Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework. UNDRR and interagency partners support UNCTs in integrating risk and DRR
