In that regard, I welcome the reassuring findings of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation.
Japan is leading the world when it comes to disaster prevention.
The country has invested heavily in building back safer over the last ten years.
And it has helped to share the lessons learned for the future.
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, adopted six years ago, is a global blueprint for a safer world.
To prevent and manage disasters, countries need to plan, invest, give early warnings and provide education on what to do.
And they must prioritize the most vulnerable, such as the elderly and the disabled.
To manage the many risks that face us today – from earthquakes to biological hazards, from pandemics to extreme weather events – we must be inclusive, so nobody is left behind when disaster strikes.
