This document stresses the importance of disaster risk reduction to the private sector and the central role the private sector can play to prevent new and reduce existing disaster risks.

By combining the intellectual (know-how) and capital assets of the private sector with the public sector and other stakeholders’ knowledge, outreach and resources, solutions will be developed and implemented to achieve the targets of the Sendai Framework.

In addition to its four Focus Areas, ARISE has also suggested four Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), to guide the activities of its Networks and Members towards biggest common impact and to increase its influence and visibility.

The private sector is a critical participant in the creation of risk-resilient societies. ARISE, the Private Sector Alliance for Disaster Resilient Societies, is a network of private sector entities led by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)

By connecting a passionate community of business and other public and private partners, ARISE works as a catalyst for business innovation and for knowledge sharing to reduce risk for a sustainable and resilient future.

In November 2019, the International Cooperative and Mutual Insurance Federation (ICMIF) and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) began a multi-year collaboration to help address the urgent challenge of reducing disaster risks.
