Description

Indonesia presented concepts of sustainable resilience to increase resilience in the face of disaster risks at the 7 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction 2023. This presentation was followed by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Leaders Declaration on Sustainable Resilience (ASEAN, 2023), which aims to promote sustainable resilience as an enabling framework to enhance collaboration in strengthening climate and disaster resilience for sustainable development. This article assesses the latest disaster risk of the ASEAN region and incorporates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as components to build resilience. This assessment seeks to understand the impact of sustainable development efforts on the ASEAN riskscape. This year, the ASEAN Risk Index for Situational Knowledge (ASEAN RISK) shows that Myanmar, the Philippines, and Indonesia are the ASEAN Member States (AMS) most at risk of disasters. Compared to the 1 edition of the st ASEAN Risk Monitor and Disaster Management Review (ARMOR), there is generally decreased resilience in the ASEAN region. However, compared to the 3 edition of rd ARMOR, there is a general improvement in the resilience of the ASEAN region. By incorporating SDGs into the ASEAN risk assessment, there is an average reduction in risk scores of 9% across all AMS. By taking a closer look at each resilience component, each AMS highlighted its strong points on the SDGs for their resilience components. This article recommends that ASEAN explore how sustainable resilience can be shared amongst AMS to enhance regional resilience further.

The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINET has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
