Australia is partnering with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) to host the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre from 19-22 September.
Natural Hazards Research Australia will be present at a booth in the Australian Pavilion, so be sure to drop by.
The conference is the main regional platform in the Asia-Pacific for promoting coordination and cooperation on disaster risk reduction and the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It brings together UN Member States, intergovernmental organisations, international and national organisations and stakeholder groups to accelerate progress on disaster risk reduction.
This year's conference will be centred around the theme, 'From Crisis to Resilience: Transforming the Asia-Pacific Region’s future through disaster risk reduction'.
