The Mongolian Government will host the Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2018 in cooperation with the National Emergency Management Agency and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) on 3-6 July.  The conference will take place on the theme, ‘Preventing Disaster Risk: Protecting Sustainable Development’. Over 3000 official delegates, including  NGO’s, the media, and researchers from more than 50 countries are expected to gather in Ulaanbaatar.

The Asian Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2018 – AMCDRR 2018 for short – will review progress in implementing the Sendai Framework, and seek to strengthen coherent implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The meeting is expected to produce the ‘Ulaanbaatar Declaration,’ a 2018-2020 Action Plan for the Asia region, and a raft of voluntary commitments. AMCDRR 2018 will be the second ministerial conference to take place since the adoption of the Sendai Framework in 2015.
