Source:<\/strong> The post is based on the article \u201cA big step in reducing the risk of disasters<\/strong>\u201d published in \u201cThe Hindu\u201d on 25th July 2023.<\/p>\n

Syllabus:<\/strong> GS 3 – Disaster and disaster management.<\/p>\n

News:<\/strong> The author discusses how recent disasters show the need for more action on climate change. India has started a G20 group for reducing disaster risks. The group will focus on early warnings, resilient infrastructure, and funding for risk reduction. Brazil will continue this work when it leads the G20.<\/p>\n

About Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Duration:<\/strong> 2015-2030.<\/p>\n

Goal:<\/strong> Reduce disaster risks and losses.<\/p>\n

Progress:<\/strong> At its midpoint, efforts are underway, but more is needed.<\/p>\n

Global Importance:<\/strong> Recognized as the roadmap for reducing global disaster risks.<\/p>\n

Key Calls to Action:<\/strong> Enhance early warning systems, develop resilient infrastructure, and secure funding for risk reduction.<\/p>\n

Relation to G20:<\/strong> Directly supported by G20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group’s priorities.<\/p>\n

What are the initiatives taken by India for disaster risk reduction? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

G20 Leadership:<\/strong> India has given high priority to disaster risk reduction during its G20 presidency.<\/p>\n

Working Group:<\/strong> Established the first G20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group, aiming to influence global economic decisions linked to disaster risks.<\/p>\n

Early Warning Systems:<\/strong> Emphasized the role of inclusive and multi-hazard early warning systems. For instances, during Cyclone Biparjoy, India’s effective warning and action systems resulted in zero deaths.<\/p>\n

Resilient Infrastructure: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Launched the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure with the UN in 2019.<\/p>\n

Focuses on enhancing the resilience of critical infrastructure globally.<\/p>\n

Aims to support policy development and capacity building, especially in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Resource Allocation<\/strong>: India uses risk metrics to distribute resources at local levels for disaster risk reduction. This method aids in targeted and efficient resource utilization.<\/p>\n

What additional measures should be considered?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Proactive Approach:<\/strong> Instead of just responding, there should be more upfront investment to prevent or reduce the impact of disasters.<\/p>\n

G20’s Role:<\/strong> The G20, representing 85% of global GDP, needs to incorporate disaster risk considerations into economic decisions.<\/p>\n

Expand Early Warning Systems:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use disruptive technologies to enhance forecasting and cater to local needs.<\/p>\n

Support the UN Secretary General’s goal of universal early warning coverage by 2027.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Resilience:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Evaluate and enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure globally.<\/p>\n

Ensure infrastructure supports sustainable development outcomes.<\/p>\n

Financing Strategies:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Develop new methods of funding disaster risk reduction.<\/p>\n

Collaborate with private sectors, as many risks are generated by them.<\/p>\n

Ecosystem-based Approaches:<\/strong> Scale up methods that prioritize the health of ecosystems to mitigate disaster risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
