P K Mishra has affirmed India's commitment to the Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction and called for increased international collaboration on knowledge sharing, technology transfer and sustainable development to enhance disaster resilience globally. Mishra said this while participating in the G-20 Disaster Risk Reduction Working Group (DRRWG) ministerial meeting in Belem, Brazil, according to an official release.
He led a high-level Indian delegation which took part in the meeting held from October 30 to November 1.
With the active participation of the Indian delegation, a consensus was arrived at on finalising the first ministerial declaration on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), the release issued by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs said.
During various sessions, Mishra shared the progress made by the government of India in reducing disaster risks and in upscaling disaster financing.
He emphasised India's proactive approach to disaster risk reduction on five priorities of the DRRWG which were enunciated during India's presidency of G20 — early warning systems, disaster resilient infrastructure, DRR financing, resilient recovery and nature-based solutions.
