The Regional Platform was organised by the Government of Canada, together with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR). It represented the first opportunity for governments and other actors in the Americas to formulate and agree on a regional action plan as support for the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

The main aspect of the fifth session of the Regional Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in the Americas was to discuss how governments, ministers, civil society leaders, technical and scientific institutions, the private sector and the media could promote the implementation and measurement of the expected results of the Sendai Framework in the Americas.
