Australia is partnering with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) to host the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR) at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 19-22 September 2022.
With the Asia-Pacific experiencing a growth in the frequency and intensity of disasters, investment in reducing our risk to disasters is vital to saving lives and livelihoods, minimising economic loss and ensuring no one is left behind.
The 2022 Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction presents an opportunity for delegates from across the Asia Pacific to showcase and share experiences, action and innovation to help build a resilient future for the region.
The conference also represents a final opportunity ahead of the Mid-Term Review of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) in 2023, to focus on Sendai Framework progress and commitments in the Asia-Pacific Region.
At the invitation of the organizers, SDS has represented by Mr. Mojibur Rahman (Founder & Advisor, SDS), Mrs. Rabeya Begum (Executive Director, SDS). SDS participated in all the events of the 04-day Conference.
