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.

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.

Session objectives

The session is designed to deliver

• A comprehensive position paper of the Women Major Group with policy and programme demands for GPDRR and Sendai Review Process to consider
• An engagement plan of the Women Major Group in Sendai midterm review

As the convenor of the Community Practitioners Platform for Resilience (CPPR), the Huairou Commission will facilitate dialogue among the representatives of grassroots organizations from impoverished and hazard-prone communities participating in the Global Platform in Bali.

Organized grassroots groups have leveraged their own expertise, resources and social capital to introduce solutions for reducing disaster risk and building gender-just resilient communities.

The Sendai Mid-Term Review is positioned as a valuable organizing tool that can be used for collective learning and collaborative planning as leaders of grassroots organizations take stock of their contributions and the progress and challenges observed more broadly.

This session will advance a collaborative process for reviewing progress since Sendai. Grassroots experiences in innovating and scaling up DRR will be presented, plans for using the MTR to aggregate evidence will be considered and strategies for advocacy and outreach to partners throughout our time at Global Platform will be discussed.

Session objectives

1. Share grassroots practices and lessons from local implementation of the Sendai framework for DRR
2. Propose approaches to aggregating evidence of grassroots-led implementation of SFDRR for the Mid Term Review
3. Identify opportunities to scale-up partnerships for accelerating local implementation of SFDRR
4. Develop shared agenda for for the MTR and advocacy at the Global Platform

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.
• 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 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

A key element of good governance is effective preparation. The protection of lives and livelihoods is a vital responsibility and central to a prevention agenda. This requires building consensus among all members of society to know and understand their particular roles and responsibilities. An inclusive, participatory process is required, and there are demonstrated success stories from which we can learn.

In this session we aim to look at a few examples and understand the forces which lead to the success of effective and inclusive processes, the factors which limit the impact, and what can be shared as others also seek to benefit from increasingly diverse participation.

Session objectives 

• Share experiences, good practices and lessons learned of inclusive governance in the implementation of the Sendai Framework.
• Identify elements of successful governance and inclusion that we wish to see replicated.
• Understand how previous barriers to good governance and inclusion were overcome and document those strategies.

To reach a sustainable and resilient world for all it is of importance that there is a policy coherence between all relevant policies at all levels, from local to international level.

The UNDRR Stakeholder Engagement Mechanism (UNDRR-SEM) is thereby engaging not just in solely disaster risk reduction avenues, but in all-hazard knowledge generation, climate change policy development, disaster risk financing and most importantly community empowerment. We have seen that resilience is dependent upon the capacity of a community to respond in times of crisis.

During the first half of the 2nd day of the 7th GPDRR Stakeholder Forum, its participants took part in interactive and outcome oriented smaller parallel sessions. The session will serve as an opportunity for all to learn of the outcomes from these parallel sessions.

Session Objectives 

•  Ensure that the knowledge generated from the Stakeholder Forum parallel sessions is shared among all stakeholder groups attendees and other participants in the Stakeholder Forum.
• Reduce the potential of silos among DRR stakeholders, and ensure coherence between actions of stakeholders engaged in implementing the Sendai Framework.
• Demonstrate that while we, as the stakeholders of DRR, may have specific areas of interest, we are working for a common goal, namely ensuring that all parts of society have enhanced capacity of managing striking hazards and that the risks of disasters to occur are minimised through structural changes and integration of risk-reduction in all development plans.

Online Attendance

This session will be live-streamed online. Note that it is live-streamlining and no active online participation. You can access the live streaming through this link: 

This online side event will: 

• Relook at changing forms of communication among stakeholders that are required for planning and evaluation, leaving nobody behind - children, youth across all generations, women and gender minorities, PWDs, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, urban and rural poor, and so on. 
• Bring old and new methods of advertising and media together, from TV and radio to vlogs and podcasts, even to the up-and-coming Metaworld. We believe, if there is a future - it is together. 
• Analyze the role of social media as a powerful and revolutionary instrument for making DRR, Climate Change, and SDG decision-making more inclusive, participative, and empowering. 

Session objectives

1. To discuss and evaluate the various media's involvement in disaster risk management and climate action at the global, regional, national, and local levels. 
2. To identify significant knowledge & information gaps and possibilities to increase the role of media as a powerful and  transformative tool in making disaster risk reduction and climate action more inclusive and wide. 
3. To determine the most effective ways for media platforms to return power to marginalized groups and provide space and venues to share their stories in their voices, free of bias. 
4. To make a collective commitment from media partners, both private, public with state owned, the UN, and youth & children, to  improve new media collaboration for disaster risk reduction and   climate action. 

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.
