Description:
The Children and Youth Network in Asia Pacific (Plan International, World Vision International, Save the Children, UNMGCY, APCSS and Unicef) had launched the Children and Youth Consultation report in Asia Pacific countries title “Guardians of the Planet” as preparation for the upcoming APMCDRR. Nearly 10,000 children & youth from over 21 countries gave voice on their concerns, emphasized their role and gave recommendations to what stakeholders could do. They recognised the need to strengthen policies and plans to mitigate disaster risks and promote resilience in inclusive approaches. In this webinar, apart from presenting the key findings of the consultation, children & youth delegations also share their experience participating in DRR work, as well to have direct dialogue with representatives of government, UN & INGOs on actions to be taken. Learning and challenges on planning and implementing child-focused DRR work are also shared.
