Event Details:

At this workshop organised by CCOUC and the Centre for Global Health, we will be joined by a variety of high-calibre regional and international speakers who will discuss the Post-2015 Framework for DRR which will be adopted at the Third UN World Conference on DRR in Sendai later this month. This workshop will be the first of its kind after the UN conference, and will aim at contributing to a forward-looking and action-orientated implementation strategy specific to the Asian context.
