Scenario in Asia-Pacific
• Disaster risk and climate change are increasing
• ‘Case fatality rate’ of flooding and tropical storms are decreasing
• Livelihoods implications of disasters are more severe
• Asia-Pacific’s population is young
• Children are disproportionally affected and will feel the full force of climate change not adults
• Progress towards the MDGs are derailed

Risk Management Challenges
1. Relevance of the humanitarian cluster system and Western aid considering the rise of Asia, ASEAN, SPC-SOPAC and strong governments.
2. Effective urban risk management in view of demographic transition and mega-cities rapid urbanization
3. ‘Disaster-proofing’ MDGs Mainstreaming of emergency preparedness/DRR/climate change
Emergency planning should become less shock-driven and more vulnerability-driven
Development planning should be risk-informed and no longer ‘blind’ to disaster risk and climate change 4
