• Progress reports of the Platforms in Myanmar, the Philippines and Sri Lanka.
• Contribution to the SDGs, Paris Agreement, and Sendai Framework.
• Joint discussion between TG1:AWCI and TG5:AsiaRiCE.

Sustainable Development Goals for 2030
It is critical to end poverty and hunger, achieve gender equity, and makesocieties and economies resilient to water-related disasters in both urban andrural areas. AWCI launches full-scale efforts to activate Platforms on Water
Resilience and Disasters by promoting dialogues, reinforcing partnerships,
sharing data, information, models, tools, experiences and ideas, and expanding
sustainable practices. AWCI promotes initiatives that will address targets in
Goal 6 on Water use efficiency and Integrated Water Resources Management
as well as SDGs related to Poverty (1), Food Security (2) and Life on Land (11).
Paris Climate Agreement
AWCI accelerates regional coordination to build capacity for identifying,monitoring and predicting the changing probability of water-related disasters
and their associated risks, develop and share user-friendly analysis tools, andengage all stakeholders in climate change adaptation planning andimplementation at the national scale and fill the gap between adaptation andmitigation by choosing adaptation options that are beneficial to mitigation.
Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Development
AWCI facilitates the implementation of Platforms on Water Resilience andDisasters to promote the four priorities for action in the Sendai Framework.
AWCI provides usable and actionable information on thematic activities
including preparedness and mitigation at each step of water-related disastermanagement. AWCI also archives disaster damage data and maintains statistics
for encouraging investments for water-related disaster risk reduction.
