With the end of the HFA (Hyogo Framework Action) in 2015, SFDRR (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction) was adopted as a new agenda for disaster risk reduction at the 3th WCDRR (World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction), held in March 2015. Continued understanding of the international agenda for reducing disaster risk is critical to disaster risk reduction at the national level as well as international level. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed major changes in the international agenda for disaster risk reduction as the transition from HFA to SFDRR, and analyzed South Korea's major achievements in the HFA and the implementation status of SFDRR in South Korea. In addition, SFDRR emphasizes the role of science and technology in policy making, and examined research trends in science and technology. 49.9% of the efforts were made to prevent the disasters during the disaster management stage, and plans related to priority 1 (40.4%) and 4 (35.8%) were mainly promoted. Science and technology research and development for disaster management were analyzed as active, but 79.7% of the tasks were related to priority 4, and it is necessary to develop all four priorities. Recently, disaster management using next-generation disaster prevention technologies such as satellite technology and big data is required, and it is expected that it will contribute effectively to mitigate disaster risk through establishment of education and policy to support it.

Global Warming makes the climate change in the earth. Life environment is continuously deteriorated. As a preparation and adaptation of the climate change, there are many international activities including IPCC and UNFCCC. Also Sendai framework is new DRR activity of UNISDR. In this study, we discuss inter-connection of the activities and we check our preparation and guide for the future DRR actitivities.

This paper examines in depth the UN's disaster risk reduction system and framework that affect a country's disaster safety strategy and focuse on identifying the global trends in disaster risk reduction that have emerged in the Hyogo and the Sendai Framework, a disaster risk reduction strategy proposed by the UN since 2000. For this aim it attempts a theoretical review based on collecting a variety of domestic and international literatures, draws meaningful implications and suggests alternatives to a national disaster risk reduction policy. According to the analysis, the UN disaster risk reduction mechanism is UNISDR, the Secretariat is UNDRR, and the SRSG represents it, and the Sendai Framework, developed from the Hyogo Code of Conduct, a global strategy which has been for disaster safety for the past decade, will lead global disaster safety for the next decade. The policy implications drawn from the analysis of both strategies are the emphasis on consistent international coordination, strengthening resilience and an integrated and comprehensive approach. In conclusion, this paper proposes the need for a disaster risk reduction strategy to establish a resilience reinforcement system to proactively identify and cope with risk factors and to minimize impacts, to promote the coordination of international coordination and cooperation at the government level.
