Disaster risk reduction was prominently featured at the annual conference of the Boao Forum for Asia, highlighting the increasing centrality of risk reduction to economic growth and the need to increase international cooperation around its goals.
The Boao Forum conference, which ran from 18 to 21 April in the Chinese town of Boao, is often described as China’s version of the World Economic Forum in Davos and has become a high-level platform for political and economic dialogue.
The session on “Disaster Management and Sustainable Development,” was organized by China’s Ministry of Emergency Management and focused on strengthening international cooperation around disaster risk reduction to protect development investments and gains.
Strengthening partner alliance in Latin America and the Caribbean in the face of increasing climate and disaster risks

Building on years of joint commitment to Latin America and the Caribbean, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Pacific Disaster Center (PDC) are formalizing efforts to support the second most disaster-prone region in the world. This partnership will ensure that the region is better poised to face the growing impacts from natural disasters with the help of two global partner organizations. Following their successful responses to Hurricane Dorian (2019) in The Bahamas, the 2020 response to Hurricanes Eta and Iota, and the ongoing collaboration throughout Asia and the Pacific, UNOCHA and PDC have broadened focus to sign a new Memorandum of Cooperation supporting OCHA’s Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC).
