Towards the Post-2015 Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: Tackling Future Risks, Economic Losses and Exposure

This paper builds on the hypothesis that a successful post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction (DRR) needs to better address underlying risk factors over a long timeframe and engage directly more pertinent actors such as local government leaders and the private sector. The paper explores the possible priority issues (the "substance") that should be highlighted in the post-2015 framework for DRR, setting the parameters for who (the "actors") and how (the "form") the substance should be included and the actors engaged.
