Leaving no one behind: Gender-responsive and disability-inclusive disaster risk governance is essential to accelerate the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, which aims to make climate resilience and disaster risk reduction more inclusive, ensuring that no one is left behind. Policies that ignore growing inequalities only risk deepening them.

Sustainable disaster risk reduction must be people-centered and gender-responsive, uplifting historically excluded groups such as women, people with disabilities, and indigenous communities.

The Midterm Review emphasized the need for greater social inclusion, with countries recognizing the importance of equality. However, implementation gaps persists, demanding faster action by 2030.
