This month’s topic for our 9th Climate Talks organized by Conyat Create will be around Disaster Risk Resilience and Climate Change.
Myanmar is exposed to a wide range of natural hazards, triggering different types of small scale to large-scale disasters across the country’s territory. A total of 27 natural disasters have been recorded in twenty years, causing the death of approximately 140,000 people, and affecting the lives and livelihoods of 3.9 million people; an average of 125,000 people a year. Increasing disasters are attributed to a number of factors, mainly of human origin, such as environmental degradation; rapid population increase with subsequent exponential expansion of urban centres and other related factors; all these leading to increased population
vulnerabilities.
During this Climate Talk, we will attempt to improve your understanding of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation concepts.

Speakers:
Liliana Demartini: ActionAid Myanmar – Junior EUAV for Project Management in Disaster Risk Reduction
Liliana has cultivated her expertise by harvesting valuable experience from her involvement with organizations invested in the promotion of environmental protection and resilience, gender equality, human rights and capacity building in challenging contexts in South East Asia, West and Eastern Africa.

Jen Stephens: UNICEF – Climate Change, Environment, and Disaster Risk Reduction Specialist

We are looking forward to seeing you all!
