The UN Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction Special Report 2023: Measuring resilience for the Sustainable Development Goals (GAR SR 2023) explores what risk-informed sustainable development looks like in an increasingly complex and risky world. It highlights how risks are interconnected and how pitfalls can be transformed into opportunities to build resilience. It aims to support government policymakers charged with the difficult and innovative work of risk-informing development to face the increasingly complex set of threats resulting from the deepening climate crisis and other threats.
In the frame of the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2023 in New York the report will be launched to highlight the importance of disaster resilience as a tool to accelerate full implementation of the SDGs.
