Mission
The Global Community Resilience Center (GCRC), a nonprofit organization, launched at Kyoto University, advances research, education and practice on resilience by integrating academic scholarship with societal knowledge, with a particular focus on disaster risk, community resilience, and sustainable society in complex and uncertain environments.
Grounded in transdisciplinary principles, GCRC operates at the interface of academia, policy, and civil society. Through international dialogues, participatory research, and comparative learning, the Center fosters collaborative knowledge creation that supports evidence-informed policy-making and locally grounded action.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
