00:00One of the first to be discussed is the so-called Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

00:07This is an agreement between the countries so that the effects of calamity can be minimized,

00:13the right direction can be laid, and the ability of the affected people of the disaster can be strengthened.

00:21Another topic of discussion is the problem faced by women every time there is a calamity.

00:28Benji Durango is there now for more details live. Benji?

00:35Ma'am, three countries are now exchanging talismans regarding disaster risk reduction

00:42for the continuation of the third day of the Disaster Convention here in the PICC.

00:47I will explain to you, Ma'am, what is the reason for this help and why it has become a history in our country.

00:55The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction was adopted in 2015.

00:59This is a global agreement between the countries so that the effects of calamities can be minimized.

01:04The Sendai Framework has four key priorities that should be identified by the countries involved in this.

01:10The identification of calamities, proper governance, strengthening of capabilities, and preparedness.

01:15In addition to the seven global targets for a country to be said to be disaster resilient,

01:19the reduction of the negative effects of calamities on people, infrastructure, awareness of calamities,

01:24international cooperation, implementation of disaster risk management, and the establishment of a community.

01:30The UNDRR convened three times this year.

01:34This was done here in the Philippines as the first regional platform to adopt the political declaration of the Sendai Framework Mid-Term Review.

01:42We have many different situations that come and impact the way that when a disaster happens,

01:52how we can build resilience or how we can recover.

01:58We as a sector need to have more conversations like this to create more spaces where diverse voices can be heard.

02:07As a part of the Asia-Pacific region that is often hit by disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic eruptions,

02:13the Philippines considers the Watchtower of Disaster Risk Reduction.

02:17It is historical that the convention was held in the Philippines because this is where implementation, policy dialogue,

02:22knowledge sharing, advocacy, and mobilization will be planned.

02:25This is the first regional convention.

02:28As of now, 21 town hall discussions were held in the PICC.

02:31One of the discussions was on gender equality.

02:34Problems and solutions that women face every time there is a disaster.

02:38Aside from ensuring their safety, they should also face their challenges before, during, and after the disaster.

02:45This is where the Sendai Gender Action Plan comes in.

02:48Proactive government is one of the solutions.

02:51Our country remains predominantly on reactive disaster response, increasing the dependence on relief goods and provisionary assistance.

03:01As a result, the economic, mobility, and sustainable development are sacrificed.

03:08For example, when there are evacuations, disaster risk reduction efforts should be gender responsive.

03:14It's a good idea, but it's still new for us.

03:17We don't necessarily know yet how to be gender responsive in terms of, to be really gender responsive.

03:25In the Asia-Pacific nations, Fiji has a clear gender inclusivity when it comes to disaster response.

03:31There are five ways in which disaster risk reduction in Fiji can be gender sensitive.

03:36It can be done in the country.

03:38The Philippines has not yet adopted it, but it will not happen for sure.

03:41We focus on ensuring that everyone, especially the most vulnerable,

03:47will experience equitable safety and dignity before, during, and even after disasters.

04:17Thank you very much, Benji Durango.
