UN-ISDR/CityNet/WorldBank
Regional Workshop
• Reducing
Vulnerability to
Climate Change
Impacts and
other Natural
Disasters in East
Asia
 Challenges and Issues
• Translation of available risk assessment
results and risk information into
implementable policies and plans
• Sustainability of on-going DRR programs
and projects
• Enhancement technical capability and
institutional competencies in DRM
• Provision of enabling legal and institutional
framework to support and promote DRR
 Challenges and Issues
• Raising of awareness among constituents
• Strengthening of linkages with the
business community for Business
Continuity Planning
• Fund constraints for DRM initiatives
• Availability of calamity loan facilities in
high-risk areas
• Need for strong international institutional
cooperation
 Conclusion
• Contributions of the academe, international
institutions, and scientific partners for
research collaborations is essential
– Applied research and related studies (i.e. Risk
Modeling, Climate Analyses)
– Mainstreaming risk in planning and macro-
economic-analyses
- Researches be readily available and
understandable for policy leaders and non-
technical administrators
Programs, projects and
policies should be ideally
grounded on scientific
research
Thank you.
