UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 sets out priorities and targets to reduce disaster risks and losses in lives,livelihoods and assets. Its central focus is risk reduction,not just response. The stem clearly refers to global guidelines for disaster risk something,which must be reduction. Hence Option C is the correct option.

Option A:
Creation of risk is what the framework seeks to avoid,not promote. Policies that unintentionally increase risk are criticised in Sendai,so Option A contradicts the intent.

Option B:
Denial of risk occurs when societies ignore potential hazards,but the framework is about acknowledging and reducing them. Therefore Option B is not appropriate.

Option C:
Reduction reflects measures that lessen hazard exposure and vulnerability through better planning,governance and preparedness. This aligns exactly with the objectives described in the question.

Option D:
Privatisation refers to ownership arrangements and is not a central term in the Sendai document’s title or aims. Thus Option D does not fit the stem.
