Mission
Launched at COP27 by the Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group and the Group of Seven (G7), the Global Shield against Climate Risks aims to increase protection for vulnerable people and countries and contribute to effectively responding to loss and damage from climate change.
The Global Shield promotes an inclusive, gender-responsive and demand-driven process, which is led by the vulnerable countries’ governments. To achieve its vision, the Global Shield uses evidence-based, systematic, and inclusive analyses of countries’ protection gaps, and applies these analyses to design, fund, and facilitate interventions to address these gaps.
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.
