ABSTRACT:
Throughout its existence, the universe has experienced immense disasters. Whether a country stands as a global leader, a rising power, or a developing nation, disasters remain indiscriminate in their devastation. The United Nations has developed global frameworks for disaster management applicable to all member nations. However, for a densely populated country like India, ensuring comprehensive reach to every citizen poses a significant challenge. India, leaving no stone unturned, aligns its efforts with three key global frameworks: The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, 2015 – 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals – 2015 and the COP21 Paris Agreement – 2015. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction primarily emphasises disaster preparedness and mitigation, while the Sustainable Development Goals aim to address the fundamental needs of the world, striving for long-term sustainability. On the other hand, the COP21 Paris Agreement seeks to reduce the harmful impact on the climate, fostering climate resilience and sustainability for future generations, ensuring the universe is not treated as a dumping ground. It is depicted that the United Nations is dedicated to enhancing disaster management preparedness.
