Responsibilities for monitoring the HFA are assigned mainly to governments, but they are also identified for regional organizations and institutions, international organizations and partners in the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction. The first major agreement of the post-2015 development agenda, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015- 2030, was endorsed by the UN General Assembly following the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan in March 2015. The Sendai Framework is the outcome of stakeholder con- sultations initiated in March 2012 and inter-governmental negotiations held from July 2014 to March 2015, which were supported by the United Nations Offices for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) upon the request of the UN General Assembly. The main objective of this regional synthesis report is to identify key trends in terms of progress made and challenges faced at both national and regional levels through the implementation of the HFA in Europe over the past ten years with a view towards informing the implementation, follow-up and review of the Sendai Framework. This synthesis report is based on reports submitted by countries and regional organizations that responded to the HFA monitoring requirements. While in some countries consultation exercises were conducted as part of the review process, the reports are self-assessments by national authorities prepared by the designated HFA Focal Points. In addition, this report presents the findings of the European cities that completed the Local Government Self-Assess- ment Tool, an effort to benchmark and report progress made in building resilient cities. It is hoped that the lessons learned and challenges identified over the course of the HFA will inform the best approaches to the implementation of the Sendai Framework to achieve a safer, more resilient society.
