UN ITU World Summit on Information Society
Special Virtual Session on

DRR and SDGs Information Deficits 
Disaster Risk Reduction Management 
and Sustainability Synergy

February 24, 2021   12:00-13:15 CET

 


 

 


 

The DRR Disaster Risk Reduction and SDGs Sustainable Development Goals
holistic and systemic approach broadens the view from
"Resilience-as-a-service" to whole-of-society mutual responsibility and
action. In consequence, synergy in governance and in technical terms can be
reached.

Without concise and comprehensive Information Management, preventing,
managing and learning from disasters will not be possible at the level that
members and organizations of information society would expect in striving
for a responsible, secure, safe and reliable development.

Information management best practice methods support the principles of
"critical thinking", enabling extensive reporting, transparent analysis,
compliance to regulations and other boundary conditions. Information control
obligations include phases of retrace, audit, reexamination, analysis,
avoidance of malpractice, and indications on weaknesses/vulnerabilities.
Improving / Enabling just-in-time foresight, situation management and
ex-post evaluation. Application of informatics state-of-the-art methods and
technology that meet the demands of complex multi-actor and cross
organizational information management is urgently required for
organizationally as well as technically implementing treaties, frameworks
and programs and for granting coherence in the required holistic way. 

Aims
