Based on disaster risk data sets and further evidence from recent history, this report highlights what this agreed approach could look like, what the challenges may be, and offers ten proposals for this global monitoring framework on disaster risk reduction (DRR).  The report argues that, with disaster risk continuing to increase in many regions, action is needed to reverse the trend. It argues that creating a unified approach to three upcoming policy frameworks –  the post-2015 agreement on disaster risk reduction (DRR); the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and an international agreement on climate change – is the only way to ensure disaster risk reduction (DRR) is given high priority. The report recommends that a common target and indicator set to measure and monitor disaster risks and losses should be agreed on and implemented.
