*NEW DATE* Disaster Management in ASEAN
VIEW EVENT DETAILSASEAN countries are one of the most vulnerable to growing impacts of climate change, such as storms, typhoon and coastal flooding. Super-typhoon Yolanda last November reinforces the urgent need for the Philippines and other ASEAN countries to identify new approaches and ways forward for disaster risk reduction.
The dialogue on January 13 will explore disaster management in the context of ASEAN, as well as innovative bottom-up approaches to mitigate disaster risk for countries like the Philippines.
The Understanding ASEAN series is a four-part program series featuring various topics and resource speakers on the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) 2015, the region’s largest and historic trade agreement to be established next year. It will also feature several ASEAN-related cultural events to heighten the awareness of ASEAN.
