Outcome Document: Global Forum for Sustainable Resilience

The “Outcome Document: Global Forum for Sustainable Resilience” from the March 2023 event in Jakarta outlines key discussions on integrating disaster risk reduction, climate change, and sustainable development. The forum, supported by international and national bodies, emphasised the need for resilient infrastructure, technology, and community engagement to enhance disaster preparedness and recovery.

Key outcomes include the importance of aligning global frameworks like the Sendai Framework, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The forum stressed the need for better investment in disaster risk reduction (DRR) and a deeper understanding of systemic risks. It highlighted the critical role of local communities and stakeholders in disaster management, ensuring that efforts are both people-centred and culturally appropriate.

Sustainable resilience is defined as the ability of systems and communities to recover from disruptions while maintaining long-term viability. The document calls for continued collaboration, research, and implementation of strategies to achieve sustainable resilience. As Indonesia takes a leading role, the forum’s conclusions aim to guide future actions, fostering a global commitment to building more resilient and sustainable societies.
