Overview
The Global Partnership on Space Technology Applications for Disaster Risk Reduction (GP-STAR) was launched during the World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Sendai, Japan, on March 15, 2015. The partnership aims to foster the use of Earth observation as well as Space-based Technologies and Applications in the context of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (Sendai Framework).
The session aims to provide recommended practices on how the integration of Earth Observation and satellite-based technologies into Disaster Risk Reduction efforts contribute to the assessments of the goals and targets established in the Sendai framework, including the recently defined indicators, and to the priorities for actions.
