Systemic risks, the sendai framework and the 2030 agenda

The preamble to the 2030 Agenda states that SDGs are integrated and indivisible, balancing the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. However, this century is likely to be dominated by the emergence of largescale dynamic risks that inherently cut across these dimensions. The Sendai Framework reflects the certainty that in an ever more populous, networked and globalizing society, the very nature and scale of risk has changed, to such a degree that it surpasses established risk management institutions and approaches. Recent events - such as large-scale prolonged droughts and heatwaves, financial and commodity market crashes, large scale and long term human migration, cybervulnerabilities and political upheavals - carry the potential to generate diverse types of damage and destruction simultaneously, to vital infrastructure and even to the life support systems of very large parts of societies and economies.
