This Risk and Resilience Report by Kevin Kohler, Andrin Hauri, Florian Roth, Tim Prior and Benjamin Scharte discusses the national coordination of reporting under the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030 (SFDRR). Looking at six case studies (Austria, France, New Zealand, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland), it finds that there is considerable institutional variety in how the reporting is organized between ministries. Some countries struggle with data availability. Other common critical issues include that data on infrastructure and insurance claims are not shared by the private sector, and that the comparability of data within and between countries is not always given due to different definitions and reporting criteria.
