GENERAL OBJECTIVES

The humanitarian landscape as well as the nature of disasters are constantly changing and the latter, subject to exacerbation by the effects of climate change.

Additionally, private sector and academia involvement in ASEAN are seen to have significant potential. For the private sector, the importance of disaster management is seen as a key to improve resilience and sustainability. While for the academia, an untapped potential to improve disaster resilience through scientific evidence from an innovative perspective. Hence, ADILab operates with the following objectives:

1
A think-tank that is a regional hub of knowledge and innovation

A community of practice for like-minded individuals with the genuine interest to advance disaster risk reduction and management
3
A platform where knowledge meets, is shared, and is generated
