Warm Greetings, Fellow Environmentalists! 

The YFEED Foundation is happy to announce Nepal Youth Forum on Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Crisis 2021 (2nd Edition). 

We aim to discuss, understand and make way for better solutions while encompassing various stakeholders and their voices. Our main priority is also the climate crisis threat it poses in our imminent future. This online webinar will act as a preparatory meeting in concert with Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2021 (APMCDRR 2021). 

YFEED Foundation hosted a physical program in late 2019, but this year we will conduct our program virtually due to the given COVID-19 scenario. Fight against Climate Change, and Disaster Risk Reduction is a continuous process. It takes civil obedience, government intervention, better infrastructures, and many more factors that seem easy on paper but hard to comprehend in real life. We are here to change that: collectively. We want to collect what our local youths have to say, relay what the government has been doing, and pressure our government to issue commitment and mandates necessary on the global stage.

The 2021 Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR) is expected to focus on the need for local and inclusive action to build community resilience in the face of growing disaster risks. It will bring together more than 2,000 delegates from over 50 countries, primarily from the Asia Pacific – the most disaster-prone region globally, with seven of the ten countries with the highest number of disaster-related deaths in 2018. 

This ingenuity is a collaboration of ‘Asia Pacific Researchers, Practitioners, Policy-Makers in Dialogue with Children and Youth Project’ by United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth (UN MGCY), and Sendai Stakeholders Children and Youth Group in partnership with Asia Pacific Coalition for School Safety (APCSS) and Converge Nheri, and Supported by the SEI - Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI). 

This preparatory meeting is in solidarity with Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2021 (APMCDRR).

Nominations for speaker(s) at Asian Local Leaders' Forum event, 2022 APMCDRR, Brisbane, Australia

Local leadership is among the most understated strengths of successful DRR practices. Recognising the immense role that local champions play and celebrating their achievements is critical. From emergency response to preparedness, anticipatory action to early recovery, the leadership in moving things along is demonstrated by the local communities and their leaders. The Asian Local Leaders Forum for Disaster Resilience (ALL4DR) seeks to do just that. The forum, launched at the AMCDRR in New Delhi in 2016 and a second successful edition in 2018 in Mongolia, is now seeking to celebrate and recognise leaders at the 2022 Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR), Brisbane, Australia.

At this stage, we are inviting recommendations for speakers at the event. We are looking for local champions who embody innovative thinking for risk reduction. These passionate individuals within their communities could be local representatives (informal or elected), volunteers, micro or small businesspeople, or even be part of a youth group. Ideally, they should be articulate speakers who can champion the role of local leadership in strengthening resilience and who are turning ‘Think Resilience’ into a ‘Resilience Movement'. The potential speaker would speak from his/her personal experience and would be recognised for their efforts.  

Due to logistics constraints, we can only consider speakers from among those already confirmed to attend in person at the APMCDRR. Shortlisted local leaders will be selected by an international jury and will be felicitated during a special local leader’s event at the APMCDRR.

Please send us your recommendations no later than Friday, 05 August 2022.

Fill the form by clicking at the link https://forms.gle/bwYFH9MXfWsjDyG5A

For such strong local champions who will not be attending, we would request you to still share their details in the format below the mail. Select case studies will be integrated into an opening showcase.
