ADEXCO EXHIBITION

The efforts to protect nations from the threat of disaster include encouraging business communities to enhance the capability of disaster management, as well as to enlighten the public to prepare for various disasters.

In order to make this happen, Asia Disaster Management & Civil Protection Expo and Conference (ADEXCO) 2022 cooperate with BNPB, aiming to create a new opportunity to demonstrate disaster risk reduction efforts of Indonesia and Asia region.

Currently, countries in Asia do their best in terms of disaster management development by investing in disaster equipment for the preparedness, response and recovery. Through ADEXCO 2022, we urge communities from the government, academician, industry, media and community to be aware of and prepare disaster management. Preparation in the form of investment and education is a must to have strong resilience in order to face the upcoming and unknown disaster.

ADEXCO 2022 will be held alongside the seventh session of the Global Platform (GP2022) from 23 – 28 May 2022 in ABBC Building, Nusa Dua – Bali. The tagline of ADEXCO exhibition is Reinforce Our Future, From Indonesia To the World.

This GP2022 Learning Labs will allow to exchange best practices from all continents, shared by participants (media professionals and journalists) coming from regions at risk of climate change huge impact.

• Regional Experiences of early alert systems
• Examples of crisis impacting on media infrastructures across regions
• Examples of communication in times of crisis

Session Objectives

1. Learning from various best (and worst) practices try to build up a sharable methodology across the regions
2. Build a network of experiences and best practices across regions

Many of the world’s disasters are foreseeable, and the science used to forecast them is increasingly reliable, enabling actors to put in place the actions and financing required to act before a disaster hits. Anticipatory action approaches are now being implemented in over 60 countries by the Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) network, UN and NGOs, with growing evidence, investment and political commitment for scaling up and mainstreaming into national Disaster Risk Management systems. 

The anticipatory action community is steadily growing, with over 93 partners of the Anticipation Hub who are facilitating knowledge exchange learning and advocacy. To advance learning and exchange, the Anticipation Hub continues to find innovative and creative ways to promote the anticipatory action concept, including through serious games, art, cartoon-infused sessions, and more.

The Anticipation Dance is an innovative, intensely interactive and participatory approach for raising awareness about the value of linking early warnings with early action for Disaster Risk Reduction. The Anticipation Dance was developed in collaboration with professional choreographers, musicians, dancers, anticipatory action experts, and other partners.

During this Ignite Stage performance, Anticipation Hub partners will dance along to the Anticipation Dance, inviting the audience to join in. The experience will inspire new actors to understand, engage with, and advocate for anticipatory action as part of disaster risk reduction through the energetic and embodied dance experience.

The power of song and music for effective early warning communication will be further emphasised, through a traditional performance by Yoppi Andre, sharing about the local wisdom of the Smong through Nandong & Nafi-Nafi. Many credit traditional storytelling practices on Simeulue Island in Aceh with saving the lives of thousands of people in 2004 and 2005 when tsunamis, known locally as “Smong”, struck the coast. Stories passed down through generations warned that one should run to higher ground when the ocean recedes.

The Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is an open platform for sharing data across crises and organizations. Launched in July 2014, the goal of HDX is to make humanitarian data easy to find and use for analysis. In 2021, HDX was used by 1.4 million people in 236 countries and territories, maintaining the growth seen in previous years. Organizations regularly add new datasets to the platform, bringing the total to over 19,000 datasets, which were downloaded over 1.8 million times in 2021 alone. HDX is managed by OCHA's Centre for Humanitarian Data, which is located in The Hague. OCHA is part of the United Nations Secretariat and is responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies. The HDX team includes OCHA staff and a number of consultants who are based in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. 

This session talks about HDX, the HDX Data Grids, the datasets that the participants can find and use for analysis on HDX related to disaster risk reduction, as well as some of the work the Centre’s team does on anticipatory action in humanitarian response.

Women Major Group is one of the UNDRR’s 17 stakeholder constituencies that works to mobilize and support women’s engagement in the UNDRR processes and ensure policies and decisions center realities and agency of women and girls in all their diversities and alter relations of power to end structural inequalities which exacerbate vulnerability. The 7th global platform is the first UNDRR in-person gathering since the pandemic and the last before the midterm review of the Sendai framework. The Women Major Group is taking the opportunity, to convene members of the constituency, partners, and allies to reflect and strategize toward Sendai midterm review.

The women’s major group at UNDRR aims to host this session to reconnect with constituency members, partners, and, allies during the 7th Global platform in Bali by the reflecting on the realities of women in disasters and their engagement in the policy process while strategizing and developing a concrete yearlong plans towards Sendai midterm reviews.

This event is face-to-face, highly interactive and moderated by a leading CNN Indonesia Anchor Ms. Amelia Yachya, in a hard talk style with three leading women experts in health, disaster management, humanitarian assistance and sustainability. It will also connect with and introduce the need for a broader overarching planetary health approach in how communities, organizations and governments prepare for, mitigate the impact of, and adapt to current and future risks, including pandemics, natural hazards and climate change. It will highlight the role of women in pushing for transformation.

The moderator and speakers will interact with the audience, by both posing and answering questions with the aim that the collective wisdom and knowledge in the room can support articulation of a series of recommendations that will support the themes of GPDRR2022.

The proposed agenda for the event will be:

• Opening remarks – (5minutes)
• Presentation of what planetary health is and why it’s being brought into GPDRR – the connections may not be obvious at first sight (10minutes)
• Dialogue with speakers-(40 minutes)

This side event is linked to two main themes (2,3) and two cross cutting themes (2,3) and aims to connect them.

Discussions will center on the importance of inter-sectoral approaches, going beyond current inter- and intra-governmental processes to include a holistic planetary health approach to address current and future colliding challenges.

Session objectives

• Support GPDRR2022’s focuses on disaster risk governance, COVID-19  recovery and leaving no one behind by exploring the need for a refreshed paradigm which puts the health of people and the planet at the center of our deliberations.
• Highlight current inequalities and inequities arising from the pandemic and uneven access to vaccine distribution and their relationship with heightened exposure to disaster risk.
• Explore how shifting to a planetary health approach to disaster risk management, including pandemic management, can support achievement of the goal and targets of the Sendai Framework and the 2030 SDG agenda.
• Demonstrate that the leadership, skills and capacities exist to achieve this transformation.
• Develop relevant recommendations to be considered as part of the outcome of GPDRR2022.

The IFRC, ICRC and the World Bank are sharpening our collective understanding of how fragile contexts which face multiple threats can strengthen risk reduction and contribute to building resilience at the community level. Partnerships across the humanitarian and development fields are critical to bridge the gaps in emergency response and link to longer term investments in recovery and development - a concept well agreed on but a practice that remains woefully unfulfilled. This session will interrogate gains being made and propose practical ways forward to accelerate progress. The session builds on the Africa Regional Platform theme ‘Towards Disaster Risk-Informed Development for a Resilient Africa in a COVID19 Transformed World’ and aligns with GPDRR’s themes on strengthening disaster risk governance, investing in local action to empower communities most exposed to risks and accelerating integrated disaster risk management as a pathway to achieving sustainable development.  

Session objectives

The drivers of crises are becoming more complex, and impacts are lasting longer. Emergencies are being driven by an intricate mix of climate and environmental change, disaster risk, pandemics, conflict, fragility and displacement. The Side Event will: 

1. interrogate existing challenges in order to draw attention to concrete illustrations of what complex crisis mean in practice from a range of diverse perspectives on risk.  
2. showcase promising opportunities across the humanitarian-development continuum that strengthen institutional and community recovery and preparedness.  
3. establish connections and make propositions to accelerate progress which specifically target action across the disaster and crisis response, recovery and developmental spheres.

The stakes for our planet have never been higher.  Climate and disaster risks are growing faster than our collective efforts to build resilience. There is an urgent need to shift focus from the relentless cycle of disaster response and recovery to far greater investment in prevention and preparedness. We need to tackle the root causes of disasters, especially the vulnerability and exposure of communities to growing climate-related hazards and other risks.

Session Objectives

1. Present the CoE Roadmap highlighting key themes, and projected deliverables
2. Provide diverse perspectives on how to accelerate ex-ante action from prevention to preparedness
3. Discuss challenges and opportunities to build climate and disaster resilience in highly vulnerable and fragile contexts
4. Offer opportunities for Member States and local actors to reflect on expectations of the Centre of Excellence
