Marcos Jr. keynotes the opening ceremony of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR) 2024 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City Oct. 15, 2024. Hosted by the Philippines, in partnership with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), the APMCDRR serves as the main platform in Asia and the Pacific in monitoring, reviewing and enhancing cooperation for the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 — the global blueprint for preventing and reducing new and existing disaster risks in the world’s most disaster-prone regions. The conference brings together governments, intergovernmental, international, national and civil society organizations, the private sector, science, academia and stakeholder groups to accelerate progress in reducing disaster risk. It takes place under the working theme, ‘Surge to 2030: Enhancing ambition in Asia-Pacific to accelerate disaster risk reduction’, which aims to provide an important opportunity to review risk reduction efforts, share innovative solutions and make actionable commitments to accelerate disaster risk reduction by 2030.<br /><br />Video from RTVM<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - vhttps://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe<br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net<br /> <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook<br /> <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram<br /> <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter<br /> <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion<br /> <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital<br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify<br /> <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts<br /> <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic<br /> <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer<br /><br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /><br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews <br />#bbm<br />#philippines<br />
