Mission
The V&A is a family of museums with collections from around the globe - an international organisation. The V&A is committed to protecting the world's cultural heritage and supporting communities that suffer cultural loss, whether through conflict, criminal acts or the impacts of the climate crisis.
Created in 2014, the V&A's Culture in Crisis programme exists to share information and knowledge on cultural protection, and support and encourage action across the world.The Culture in Crisis programme aims to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach, raising public awareness and working with organisations from a variety of backgrounds to take a holistic approach to the protection of heritage in all its forms.Since its launch in December 2019, the Culture in Crisis Portal has rapidly grown to become the world's largest and most accessible database of heritage protection projects from around the globe.
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.
