9th International Conference on Building Resilience

Investing in Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation for Building Resilient Cities

In association withThe 3rd ITB Centennial International Conference on Disaster Management-P100 IC 03
13 - 15 January 2010, Shangri-La Hotel, Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia

The 9th International Conference on Building Resilience will be held in Indonesia, which is widely recognised as one of the world’s mostnatural hazard-prone areas and is at risk to multiple hazards, including flooding, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamies, volcanos andcyclones. Over the last 30 years, there have been an average of 289 significant natural disasters per year and an average annual
death toll of approximately 8,000. Like many other countries, climate change is also recognised as a key threat to Indonesia’s development, especially for lower-income groups. Rising sea levels and changing weather patterns may lead to increased uncertainty in water
availability, food production, and disruptions to transport, commerce, and urban development.
According to the GFDRR, the Government of Indonesia spends $300 to $500 million annually on post-disaster reconstruction. Costs
during major disaster years reach 0.3 percent of national GDP and as high as 45 percent of GDP at the provincial level. The growing
losses from disasters in Indonesia and many other countries around the world are not sustainable and will severely hinder society’s
ability to address wider development goals.
Effective reduction of losses and risks from natural and human induced hazards, and climate extremes, requires integrated actions at
different levels of governance. One of the greatest challenges faced by governments is in creating institutional convergence that
integrates global goals emanating from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR), the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (PACC) and the World Humanitarian Summit. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) andclimate change adaptation (CCA) are part of key agendas being considered in all these recent global agreements.
The conference will culminate in identifying approaches that could help achieve better synergies in implementation of these frameworks on the ground via programmatic integration, collaboration, capacity, and innovation.
