Young scientists adopt roadmap for implementation of Sendai Framework

The Young Scientists Platform on Disaster Reduction has adopted a roadmap for the implementation of the Sendai Framework. The platform was launched by the the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth (UN MGCY) in order to facilitate opportunities for young scientists to function within a global and interprofessional environment, while sharing knowledge and discussing good practices and emerging trends of the Sendai Framework implementation. The Platform provides an enabling environment and network that links young scientists, community actors and policymakers, and provides avenues for knowledge exchange and participation in interdisciplinary, intersectoral, transboundary and transnational discussions and collaborations.

The platform is part of the UN MGCY’s Youth Science-Policy Interface Platform, which strengthens youth policy priorities and practice in sustainable development by equipping them with tools to drive science-based, empirically-informed, context-specific, fit for purpose and fruitful change through science, technology and innovation.  A majority of the activities described will directly be implemented by initiatives hosted by the platform or also to be implemented by the platforms members.
