Relevance
Region
With increased frequency and intensity of climate variability and extreme events, disaster impacts can easily reach the threshold and jeopardise human security to a greater extent. In light of this, EPCC strives to enhance APEC resilience and promotes scenario-based science, technology and innovation (STI) solutions for capacity building on innovative policy and decision-making through real-time or near real-time information sharing in APEC region for mitigating the impact. In this project, through institutional capacity building and networking, EPCC will showcase how information intelligence support the APEC emergency preparedness from the best practices sharing to policy and decision-making on interactive scenario-based approaches for capacity building on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change a
