Webinar Invitation: The Asian Policy Dialogue: Unlocking Financing and Leadership for Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Adaptation
In the face of increasing climate-related disasters, local communities are not merely recipients of aid—they are the drivers of change. We invite you to join the Asian Policy Dialogue, a webinar that places local leadership and community voices at the heart of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate adaptation efforts.
Building on the momentum of the Regional Consultative Committee 2025 in Bangkok and recently concluded Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR 2025) in Geneva, this timely event will explore how local actors, MSMEs, governments, and civil society are advancing transformative resilience on the ground.
Key Highlights:
- Community-led resilience: Inspiring case studies from the ground
- Innovative financing: Addressing challenges and exploring new funding mechanisms
- Operationalizing Local Leadership: Strategizing to capacitate local actors and institutions
- Leveraging Partnerships: Knowledge sharing from the Asian Preparedness Partnership (APP) and National Preparedness Partnerships (NPPs)
