SDG13: Climate action

A Model UN conference envisioned the 4th World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, engaging 400 students from 37 schools to promote the Sendai Framework's goals for inclusive and effective global disaster preparedness.

ABU has been at the forefront of issues on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction. Through the summits, this commitment aims at: strengthening the collaboration of broadcasting organizations; encourage the production and dissemination of relevant content; and promote information-sharing networks

The competition and awards aim to inspire content producers across the Asia-Pacific region and beyond to cover the two most critical issues for the future of mankind: climate change and disaster risk reduction.

ABU in cooperation with UNDRR started the implementation of the global initiative Media for DRR. This is a commitment to a two-year project with the goal of enhancing the ability of broadcasters to provide useful information for climate change adaptation and disaster prevention in Asia.

The development of awareness-raising programs to reduce risk is essential for the mobilization and participation of citizens in prevention and mitigation strategies, in order to increase public awareness of the risks existing in the municipality.

This project is aimed for senior population who want to collaborate with Amadora Civil Protection. In this project, all the volunteers are trained to acquire disaster risk reduction skills and knowledge to implement and strength a safety culture in the city.

The program includes a series of trainings, events, workshops, and orientations on DRR education for teachers, students, and community members in Nepal.

Sendai City conducted its own Midterm Review of the implementation of the Sendai Framework, considering the importance of the local government level implementation of the Sendai Framework.

Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. partnered with the Climate Change Commission in conducting trainings on Local Climate Change Action Planning to increase capacities of local municipalities.

The Aboitiz Group is building its capacity to build resilience on climate change impacts to assets and its employees. In our goal to be climate change-resilient, we developed a system to identify and assess risks, and to provide our stakeholders with relevant and updated information.
