This indicator downscales the national level indicator on disaster risk management to a local scale by assessing the extent to which local governments are adopting and implementing local disaster risk reduction strategies in line with national disaster risk reduction strategies. The goal is to substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing holistic disaster risk management at all levels. Unlike most SDGs which have a target year of 2030, this indicator is timed for 2020. Currently, it is not possible to gauge global progress towards this goal as not enough data on the uptake by local governments has been collected.
