JHoP is a unique network-based research body on disaster risk reduction (DRR) composed of national universities, research institutions and general associations in Japan.
JHoP has promoted interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, taking advantage of member’s research, education and social implementation, and contributed to more science-knowledge-based and disaster resilient societies in Japan and overseas since 2019.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
