“The Sendai Monitor will be launched in Bonn early next year and many countries have already carried out a data readiness review in preparation for that. This work is also important to another Sendai Framework target which is to have a substantial increase in the number of national and local strategies for disaster risk reduction in place by 2020. 

“Locating this work in Bonn will encourage greater integration of work on disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is also located here. It positions us well to participate fully in discussions on national climate change adaptation plans and we will be active at the forthcoming COP23 climate conference here in Bonn next month.”
