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.

Willingness to explore challenges from a different point of view and help shift perceptions, most critically one’s own, to enable actions for a personal and wider transformation towards a more just and sustainable world. 

Where do we stand 

Extreme weather, climate and water events are becoming more frequent and intense in many parts of the world as a result of climate change. More of us are exposed than ever before to multiple related hazards, which are themselves evolving as a result of population growth, urbanization and environmental degradation.

One-third of the world’s people, mainly in least developed countries and small island developing states, are still not covered by early warning systems.  In Africa, it is even worse: 60 per cent of people lack coverage. 

Session guiding questions

  1. What elements enable effective early warning and early action? What relationships, systems and information flows are critical? 
  2. What is the WMO Global Multi-Hazard Alert System Framework? 
  3. How do we work together to ensure effective early warning systems for all in five years?

Women Pushing for Transformation – A Dialogue on the Future of SDG, DRR, and Planetary Health

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)
  • Interactive session with participants (15 minutes)
  • Closing summaries from discussants and moderator (5 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.

Where do we stand

Disaster risk reduction is a critical component of disaster management and has gained prominence in international discourse and action since the conclusion of the Yokohama Strategy and Plan of Action in 1994. Over the years, disasters have become increasingly multi-faceted, colliding, and complex.

The weaknesses of current de facto linear approaches to policy development and action and the increasingly complexity of disaster events were made all too clear during the recent COVID-19 pandemic with colliding crises arising from natural hazards, conflicts and climate change including from cyclones, floods, earthquakes, and subsequent displacements arising in many countries in Asia Pacific including the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Tonga.

SDG-related gains have also been eroded and the world faces rising inequality, economic, social and developmental challenges arising not only as a result of the pandemic but also broader disconnection between humanity and the planet.

Added to this is the increasing urgency required to mitigate the impact of the climate crisis leveraging the clear linkages between planetary health and climate change, risks and vulnerabilities and rising likelihood of zoonotic outbreaks and future pandemics.

The event will posit that there is an immediate need to examine and address the planetary heath crisis we collectively face in a more holistic manner, highlighting the need for inter-sectoral action on political, economic, scientific, and social fronts. The relationship with disaster risk management will be highlighted throughout.

When conflict, climate change and COVID19 collide: building resilience in complex emergencies.

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.

Participants will be immersed in a discussion on risk-informed humanitarian and development interventions, with insight into the complementarities and contradictions that arise from different perspectives on risk. 

Where do we stand 

Africa faces multiple complex threats including but not limited to climate change impacts, the COVID19 pandemic, and conflict. The year 2021, for example, saw 11 countries simultaneously responding to floods, displacements and food security while addressing COVID19. At least another five countries were embroiled in active armed conflict. And in addition, all these contexts continue to deal with climate-change induced droughts/food insecurity, and economic, health and social repercussions from the COVID19 pandemic. Yet our responses to risk are not always aligned, and well intentioned action to address different threats are not always cognizant of the positive or negative impact on risk management of other coexisting threats. Furthermore action on risk varies across scales. Recognizing that communities are themselves the first responders to crises requires international and national partners to rally behind their knowledge and power of mobilization. But does this happen sufficiently? And what are the opportunities to build resilience when conflict, COVID19 and climate change collide, surpassing local to sub-national risk management capacities?   

The interaction of compounding risks in complex emergencies demands for a flexible and efficient HD(P) nexus approach. In reality, there is no linear progress from humanitarian response to development but rather rapid shifts between humanitarian interventions and windows of development. Through partnerships across the nexus recovery efforts and development gains can ideally be safeguarded during humanitarian crisis and response and increasing long-term resilience. 

Session guiding questions

  • How do complementarities and contradictions from different perspectives on risk manifest in practice?  
  • What changes to operational approaches are enacted, or are required, to genuinely deal with coexisting risks – taking the example of disasters, climate, conflict and COVID19? 
  • What needs to be done at strategic and policy levels to accelerate a more comprehensive approach to pursuing resilience outcomes in contexts of complex risk contexts?

Integrating biological hazards in national disaster management policy: a call for whole of society action

The global experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that whole-of-society action supported by effective leadership and governance is required to manage the systemic risks associated with biological hazards.  The pandemic has challenged risk governance in countries and catalyzed changes and innovations in policies, legislation, coordination mechanisms, financing and effective risk management that have significant implications for future disaster risk reduction policy and practice. Collaborative partnerships, good practices, lessons learned and evidence generated during COVID-19 will need to be institutionalized in order to strengthen systems and capacities to manage  risks of disease outbreaks and other types of emergencies. 

Panellist will discuss how the experience and insights gained from the pandemic can help leaders, managers, policy makers, planners and practitioners on applying all-hazards, whole-of-society and risk management approaches to national and local disaster risk management strategies. Emphasis will be placed on country efforts to address the needs of the most vulnerable populations and ensure that no one is left behind. 

Session Objectives 

  • Promote effective risk governance, partnerships and collaboration on disaster risk management within and across sectors at all levels of society 
  • Share experience and good practices on the integration of biological and other priority hazards in national and local strategies and plans for disaster risk reduction 
  • Discuss how the governance, innovations and lessons from COVID-19 can contribute to all-hazard, whole of society risk management policies, plans and practice at global, national, local and community levels 
  • Contribute to the knowledge base on managing complex and interconnected risks 
  • Discuss intersectoral approaches in reducing risk and building resilience  
  • Identify best practices to accelerate the implementation of the Sendai Framework through policy making, research and innovation

Policy and governance case studies will be discussed to show how good practices, innovations and evidence generated during COVID-19 can be systematically leveraged to strengthen risk governance, policies and actions for the management of health emergencies and disasters. 

Where do we stand 

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 places health at the centre of disaster risk management and emphasizes the need for multi-hazard risk management approaches that address biological hazards such as pandemics and epidemics alongside natural, environmental and technological hazards. The Sendai Framework calls for better integration of health into disaster risk management particularly referring to the International Health Regulations and recognizes the vital interface between disaster risk management and achievement of health for all. A risk-informed, whole of society approach to the management of risks is core to the Sendai Framework and to WHO’s Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management Framework. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed, many countries’ policies for health emergencies and disasters are not fully aligned across sectors which frequently has implications for whole-of-society and intersectoral approaches to risk management. Integrating risks associated with biological hazards, including pandemics, into disaster risk reduction planning at the national and local levels has been identified as a priority action to strengthen resilience at the national level.

Session guiding questions

  1. What roles have whole-of-society governance played in managing the COVID-19 pandemic? 
  2. What are the recommended actions for whole-of-society policies to manage systemic disaster risks including those from biological hazards? 
  3. How have lessons and scientific evidence been generated from diverse COVID-19 experiences, e.g. different country contexts, across sub-populations in countries? 
  4. How have strategies to ensure “no one is left behind” been employed in the COVID-19 including compound effects of concurrent emergencies, displacement and conflict for vulnerable populations?

Moving Words into Action: Child & youth engagement on Sendai priorities

Watch the event recording here:

 

This ‘Words into Action’ event responded to stakeholders wanting to engage & support working with children & youth on DRR and CCA, but unsure where to start.  It introduced practical tools for governments, agencies, CSOs, the private sector, academia and scientists to support inclusive, gender responsive, child & youth engagement under the four priorities of the Sendai Framework and Paris Climate Agreement.

Children and youth, alongside the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition, shared experience, tools and guidance. This was followed by an intergenerational dialogue, and a ‘Children’s Call for Climate Action Now’, informed by the GP children and youth forum, regional consultations and the children’s climate cards to promote inclusivity & gender equity.

The session was structured by the four Sendai Priorities.  ‘Live scribing and cartooning’ innovatively captured key learning and ideas. The resulting session recommendations and vision aim to influence and inform the Sendai Framework stocktaking process, the progress joint statement and resulting GPDRR messages and outcomes, to ensure timely uptake of session vision and recommendations.   

Session objectives

  1. SHARE practical experience, tools and guidance to engage and support working with children and youth on DRR and CCA under the Sendai Priority Frameworks 
  2. EXCHANGE in an intergenerational discussion to advance meaningful and inclusive engagement of all children and youth on DRR and CCA going forward 
  3. INSPIRE action going forward and engagement in the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition 
  4. INFORM the stocktaking process of the Sendai Framework, the progress joint statement and resulting GPDRR messages and outcomes through session recommendations and vision

Where do we stand 

Children and youth are disproportionately impacted by climate change and disasters. Climate change magnifies gender inequalities- especially for girls. Children & youth have a right to be heard, yet policy and programs do not effectively engage them. Guidance for meaningful participation is crucial to ensure space to speak and shape their future - defined by “Nothing about us, without us”. 

Specifically, the formal and mandated space for engagement in DRR and CCA is especially limited for young people under 18.  In recognition of this, the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition has updated its mandate to specifically focus on this demographic. Accordingly, the session will include space for under 18’s representation to strive for greater inclusivity going forward.

For effective, sustainable DRR and CCA that inclusively responds to and upholds the needs and rights of all children and youth, much more needs to be done to advance gender equality and equity, disability and social inclusion.  Accordingly, the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition strongly advocates for these agendas.

Stocktaking and accelerating progress in achieving the goal and targets of the Sendai Framework, will be purposefully addressed with the session structured by the four Sendai Priorities and 2030 Agenda for SDGs. By exploring the priorities under the perspectives of children, youth and the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition, the session will provide a focused vision and set of recommendations aiming to inform the stocktaking process and next steps. We must ensure to ‘leave no one behind.’   

Session guiding questions

  1. What are best practice examples of experience, guidance or tools to meaningfully engage children and youth in each of the Sendai Framework priorities? 
  2. What made this approach effective? 
  3. Were there any barriers or challenges? 
  4. What do you hope to see going forward on each Sendai priority to advance child and youth meaningful and inclusive engagement?

Where do we stand 

Social media can play a powerful and transformative tool to make decision-making in DRR, Climate Change, and SDGs more inclusive, participatory, and empowering in today’s age. Thus, the thematic focus of the side event links to the GPDRR themes, ‘Stocktaking and accelerating process in achieving the goal and the targets of the Sendai Framework’ and ‘Accelerating and integrating disaster risk management to SDGs and climate action’. The Media is an effective and important stakeholder and communication medium in DRR and Climate Action as it can enhance people’s perception through time-based and scientific information dissemination. Media helps inclusive outreach to farthest left-behind with addressing theme Leave no one behind: Investing in local action and empowering the most at-risk. New Digital media has a role in all key phases of disaster risk management, from preparedness to response, recovery, & prevention/ mitigation. The role of the media has been perceived strongly in addressing the COVID-19 global pandemic, making it relevant to the GPDRR theme, ‘Social and economic recovery from COVID-19 for all.’ 

Session guiding questions

  • What role does the media play at the global, regional, national, and local levels in disaster risk management and climate action? 
  • What are the important knowledge and information gaps, as well as the opportunities for media to play a more effective and revolutionary role in disaster risk reduction and climate action? 
  • What are the most effective ways for media platforms to provide marginalized groups more power and give them room and venues to tell their experiences in their own words, free of bias?

Accelerating disability inclusion in Disaster Risk Reduction

Disasters can affect everyone. However, individuals that belong to the most at-risk groups such as persons with disabilities face higher risks and are disproportionately affected due to a wide range of barriers, including stigma and discrimination. 

CBM, alongside its partners is promoting disability inclusive disaster risk reduction globally, including facilitating organizations of people with disabilities (OPDs) to participate in and lead DRR activities.

At this event, four panelists will present good practices and success stories from their roles in ensuring disability inclusion in DRR in a Covid-19 impacted world. 

The panel will:  

  • stress the importance of the inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities in humanitarian and development activities  
  • highlight examples of persons with disabilities acting as important DRR resources and change agents within their communities  
  • promote efforts for mainstreaming disability inclusion in DRR.

Session objectives

  • Present key insights from the field from several contexts and identifying good practice as well as issues of concern in implementing DRR from perspectives of an OPD, a mainstream civil society network, government, the United Nations, academia, and a specialist organisation. 
  • Encourage OPDs through success stories to claim their right for participation in DRR. 
  • Set an example for a range of stakeholders on how to engage key players in disaster risk reduction programming and implementation for robust disability inclusion.

Where do we stand  

Understanding disaster risk is a fundamental and essential aspect of disaster risk management and the promotion of resilience. Evidence from recent decades shows that disasters are indicators of extremely complex processes of risk generation and consolidation. The Sendai Framework supports this approach and promotes the development of activities aimed at better understanding disaster risk. 


Session guiding questions

  1. What is the X methodology and what approaches does it adopt? 
  2. What are the types of cases in which the methodology can be applied? 
  3. What opportunities exist for the application of the methodology in the period 2022-2025?

Principles for Resilient Infrastructure - A global standard for the improvement of infrastructure resilience

While there are many discussions focusing on the challenges of infrastructure resilience, this side event will offer solutions for practitioners to achieving outcomes of infrastructure resilience. 

The purpose of the side event is to present the latest version of the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure and to provide practical solutions for infrastructure resilience to all levels of government, institutions, donors, investors, owners, regulators, operators, designers and contractors, service providers, and international organisations by demonstrating how the Principles and other tools can be implemented to contribute to positive economic, social and environmental outcomes. 

During this event, various stakeholders along with our co-organizers will discuss how the Principles and resilient infrastructure tools such as CDRI’s lexicon, OECD’s good governance for critical infrastructure resilience and ICE’s knowledge platforms can be applicable and implemented for specific sectors and industries, as well as holistically to achieve infrastructure resilience. 

Session objectives

With the overall intention of raising awareness and understanding on resilience of infrastructure, the objectives of the side event are to:  

  1. Present the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure Report 
  2. Elaborate on the concept of ‘net resilience gain’ 
  3. Illustrate how to implement the Principles for Resilient Infrastructure  
  4. Introduce policy instruments and tools for resilient infrastructure (CDRI’s lexicon, OECD’s Good Governance for Critical Infrastructure Resilience and ICE’s knowledge platforms)

Today, more people than ever are dependent on the services delivered by critical infrastructure systems, such as healthcare, education, energy, transport, telecommunications and water. Infrastructure systems are the backbone of modern economy, and critical infrastructure resilience is essential to develop sustainably. The COVID-19 pandemic and extreme weather events have highlighted potential vulnerabilities and exposure of our infrastructure systems across the globe.
The ‘Principles for Resilient Infrastructure’ have been developed to support implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The Principles for Resilient Infrastructure addresses the challenge of current infrastructure planning, financing, design, development and operation not fully taking into account either the interdependent nature of infrastructure and services, or the increasingly complex nature of risks and the cascading impacts that a disaster can have across the whole infrastructure system. It also addresses the lack of understanding of what “resilient infrastructure” actually means and entails in terms of policy, planning, and practical measures by creating a common language and understanding of the issue.  

Session guiding question

  1. How can the Principles and key actions be implemented by specific stakeholder groups to address infrastructure resilience? 
  2. What are the common misconceptions of resilient infrastructure and how can the Principles and other policy instruments contribute to creating a better understanding of resilient infrastructure?  
  3. How can we ensure that investments are de-risked by factoring resilience into investment decisions?  
  4. How can we urgently push the infrastructure resilience agenda and how can we promote the ‘net resilience gain’ concept’?

Urban multi-hazard risk policy transitions for addressing systemic risk 

The Sendai Framework urges national and subnational governments to address the understanding, quantification and appropriate policies and interventions to manage systemic risk. To open a constructive dialogue on entry points for decision making and action arising from work on multi-hazard urban risk reduction, this session brings together a diversity of perspectives drawing on the experiences of various stakeholders learning from the UKRI-GCRF Tomorrow’s Cities Hub.

The session advocates that a better understanding of systemic risk can be achieved by promoting people-centred decision making that accounts for the dynamic interactions between multiple hazards, vulnerabilities, capacities, and impacts across space. Our collective experience confirms that this framing enables policy actors to address the challenge of mainstreaming multi-hazard risk reduction into urban planning and development. This primarily consists of opening spaces for actors to engage in collaborative processes that bring local voices and science into policymaking at both city and national levels. 

Session objectives

This session’s objectives include: 

  1.  Attempt to understand systemic risk from an urban, multi-hazard perspective, including viewpoints from academia, professional associations, national governments and international organisations.   
  2. Consider ways to support the management of dynamic multi-hazard risk in cities and urban areas.  
  3.  Discuss innovative governance frameworks for mainstreaming multi-hazard risk into urban planning and development toward empowering the most at risk.

Read this section to learn more about multi-hazard risk assessment approaches and governance frameworks for DRR. Lessons learnt and to be discussed arise from the UKRI-GCRF Tomorrow’s Cities Hub.  

Where do we stand

The concept of systemic risk raises both challenges and opportunities for the overarching understanding of disaster risk and its management, nowhere more urgently in the current global, rapid urbanisation. Multi-hazard perspectives can provide a nuanced set of lessons and action approaches through which to better understand and reduce systemic risk, especially in the context of rapid growth and expansion of cities and urban areas. At the heart of these lessons is the recognition that the translation of complex and dynamic understandings of multiple, interacting risks into practice requires innovation in data and its management, related analytical and communicative techniques, governance frameworks and financing mechanisms, in particular toward mobilising the principle of leaving no one behind. Understanding, governing and investing are three of the four priorities of the Sendai Framework, and systemic risk needs to be mainstreamed into each of these dimensions if we want to make progress in reaching the targets of this and other global frameworks by 2030. 

Session guiding questions

  1. How is systemic risk understood or approached in your organisation/your work? 
  2. How can a multi-hazard perspective better inform our understanding of systemic risk? What are the implications in terms of data, analytical modelling, governance and communication? 
  3. What are the specific challenges and opportunities that rapid urbanisation pose for the management of systemic risk?  
  4. How can consideration of systemic risk be more effectively incorporated into urban development or urban planning practice?
