  • Chapter 6 2.Qxd
    Related international commitments and the UN role in disaster risk reduction 6 6.2 UN agencies and scope of activities Introduction The United Nations system is a mosaic that reflects the complexity of activities to be conducted in order to fulfil the objectives and principles of the Charter of the United Nations. It is composed of principal organs, specialized agencies and other autonomous organizations carrying out specific mandates. Reducing vulnerability and risk to natural or man-made hazards is addressed by many enti- ties of the United Nations system within the framework of their respective field of activities. By estab- lishing the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) as the successor arrangement to the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR, 1990-2000), the international community recognized the need for a consolidated and coordinated approach to disaster and risk reduction by concerned entities within and outside the United Nations system. The purpose of this section is to give an indication of how the parts of the United Nations system function when it comes to disaster and risk reduction. It is a general overview, which does not include disaster relief or emergency management activities. This brief assessment of the key players within the United Nations system and their action in disaster reduction seeks to demonstrate the potential for increased coherence in this field and facilitate a targeted approach to the system by Governments and other entities. Graphic overview of the United Nations system in relation to disaster reduction Only United Nations entities relevant to disaster reduction are mentioned. This overview is not intended to illustrate a comprehensive explanation of the complete United Nations system or hierarchy.
