Guided by the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 and The Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents, the session provided a platform for discussing and strategizing comprehensive approaches to mitigate the impact of industrial accidents. The Baltic States region face unique challenges and opportunities concerning industrial safety. The session brought together intergovernmental organizations, national policymakers and experts, NGOs and private sector to exchange insights, share best practices, and emphasize collaborative solutions for resilience building.

The action-oriented dialogues are a series of multilateral thematic dialogues led by governments, in partnership with UNDRR, for sharing experiences and developing adapted policies and actions addressing pressing disaster risk reduction-related issues, and to enhance transboundary cooperation to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
