ARISE Canada

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). In conjunction with the UNDRR, ARISE Canada works towards a resilient, prosperous future where fewer lives are lost to disasters, capital assets and investments are risk-informed, and infrastructure is resilient to hazards. Members commit to support and implement the Sendai Framework Disaster Risk Reduction, aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Climate Agreement, New Urban Agenda, and Agenda for Humanity. ARISE Canada mobilizes and facilitates the private sector to carry out risk-informed investments and to engage in business practices that build resilience, prevent social and economic losses, and enhance recovery from disasters.
