Outline
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 sets out “investment in disaster risk reduction (prevention investment)” as one of the priority actions, and the importance of disaster risk reduction and prevention investment is becoming more widely recognized around the world. However, there are many preconditions and requirements for taking specific action, and with the effects of climate change, excessive population concentration, unplanned urban expansion, etc., there are many issues to be addressed in disaster risk reduction, even though two-thirds of the framework period is about to end.
In this session, JICA International Cooperation Expert Tomo Nishikawa will serve as the moderator, and speakers from disaster management organizations in six countries (Indonesia, the Philippines, Fiji, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Mexico) are scheduled to appear. They will share specific examples and results of disaster risk reduction and pre-disaster investment in their respective countries, as well as the challenges they are facing, and exchange opinions. By organizing the current issues and sharing the results and lessons that can be applied to other areas, we will contribute to disaster risk reduction on a global scale and to the promotion of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
