At the 2019 United Nations Climate Action Summit, the Prime Minister of India initiated the establishment of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient of infrastructure (CDRI). The coalition currently comprises 47 member countries, including Mongolia. The goal of the CDRI is “systematically supporting the development infrastructure that is resilient to future disasters and climate change, in alignment with the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Sendai framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.”
Mongolia’s accession to the CDRI demonstrates the Government’s recognition that disaster risk reduction is a fundamental to sustainable development and highlights the country’s commitment to high-level leadership and attention in developing disaster resilient infrastructure.
This international scientific conference is convened to address Mongolia’s evolving disaster risk challenges amid rapid socio-economic development and urbanization, where government initiatives to enhance urban disaster resilience, improve infrastructure standards, and foster public-private partnerships face significant implementation challenges. The conference aims to bring together distinguished researchers, academic institutions, and technical experts to facilitate scientific discourse, exchange cutting-edge research findings, and develop evidence-based solutions for disaster risk reduction and resilience building in Mongolia’s unique geographical and developmental context.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE
- To increase the involvement of scientific institutions, researchers, and scholars in enhancing disaster-resilient infrastructure, reducing disaster risk, and strengthening disaster resilience.
- To learn from the experiences and practices of other countries in developing and reinforcing disaster-resilient infrastructure.
- To foster collaboration among science and technology institutions, providing researchers and scholars with opportunities to share knowledge, skills, and experience.
- To support policymakers in the infrastructure sector with science- and risk-based decision-making.
