The 6th Asia Pacific Science and Technology Conference for Disaster Risk Reduction (APSTCDRR) in 2027 will assess progress since 2015.

This conference seeks to promote risk-informed policymaking, enhance collaboration between science, policy, and practice, and advance inclusive innovation that meets the needs of communities. The goal is to ensure that disaster risk reduction strategies are not only effective but also equitable and responsive to local demands.

The event will evaluate how far countries have come in reducing disaster risks since 2015 and push for more informed policies based on scientific data.

Long-term vulnerability remains a concern as climate change exacerbates natural disasters, making it crucial that the conference's outcomes lead to actionable strategies that can mitigate future risks.

What is the long-term climate outlook for this region?

The conference will address how ongoing climate trends impact disaster risk in Asia Pacific and what measures are necessary to adapt. Participants aim to develop a clearer understanding of regional vulnerabilities and propose solutions that can be implemented at both national and local levels.

Outlook remains uncertain without concrete action plans.
