Submission to the civil society dialogue with the high-level panel on the post-2015 development agenda

This briefing note details the All India Disaster Mitigation Institute’s submissions, made in January 2013, to the High-level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda’s civil society consultations on how the future development framework should take shape. It highlights the idea that the post-2015 framework must enable disaster risks to be addressed concurrently with other social, environmental and economic agendas, such that they become a immediate consideration in any activity that is being carried out.

The note is divided into three main sections: (i) section one introduces the panel discussion and the key issues in the note; (ii) section two addresses key issues in designing the post-2015 development network; (iii) and section three presents recommendations for the post-2015 development plan for India, including key suggestions such as building a risk resilient framework, achieving sustainable development, and empowerment approaches for poor and vulnerable people.
