Ministerial statement guidelines
Objectives
As a host of 4th AMCDRR, NEMA (Korea) will provide ministerial statement book
including minister’s photos at the 4th AMCDRR. For this purpose, we would like to
request focal persons to submit ministerial statement by the end of September
2010. (Sep. 30 → Oct. 10 → Oct. 16)
Key Items
1.As a host of 4th AMCDRR, NEMA (Korea) requests Asia and Pacific countries to
include current country activities (one paragraph summary ) related to three main
themes of the conference in ministerial statement (if possible):
• raising awareness and building capacity for DRR & CCA
• developing and sharing information, technology, sound practices, and lessons
learned in climate and disaster risk management
• promoting integration of DRR & CCA into development for green growth ( in
some countries eco centric plan and policies already exist…….)
2.We also recommend to include a proposal about activities focusing on one of the
three themes in the ministerial statement. So, that we can jointly approach
international agencies to facilitate to implement activities in line with REMAP.

Preamble
Problem(Major disaster events)
Alarmed by the increasing impact of recent disasters in Asia the Pacific, including Typhoon Morakot in Chinese Taipei, Typhoon Ketsana and
Parma in the Philippines, Viet Nam, Lao PDR and Cambodia, the 2009 Padang Earthquake, the 2009 Samoa earthquake and subsequent
Pacific tsunami disaster, the 2009 extreme temperature in Australia, the 2010 wildfire in Russian Federation, the 2010 floods in
Pakistan and China, and the 2010 landslides in India and Bhutan;
Progress on HFA centered risk reduction
Noting the Chair’s Summary of the Second Session of the Global Platform, which notes that climate change is already dramatically magnifying
the disaster risks threatening many developing nations, and which recognised that addressing the underlying causes of disaster risk
therefore offers the potential for a triple win – for adaptation, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and poverty reduction;
•
Positive initiations
Recognising the need to scale up commitment and promote innovative approaches to reduce disaster risk to achieve the goals of both the
Hyogo Framework for Action 2005 – 2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters (HFA), and the Millennium
Development Goals;
Noting recent global and regional developments, which are expected to further the course of DRR in Asia and the Pacific, such as the
ratification and entry into force of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency
response; the cooperation in the area of disaster risk management by the annual Trilateral Meeting of China, Japan and the Republic of
Korea; the recent elevation of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Emergency Preparedness Working Group;
Acknowledging the leadership of the Governments of People’s Republic of China, India and Malaysia in hosting the First, Second and Third
AMCDRR including the implementation of activities called for by the Delhi Declaration 2007 and the Kuala Lumpur Declaration 2008 by
the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) Asia Partnership (IAP);
Recognising that governments have responsibility to reduce risks of disasters, there is a need for support from other stakeholders including
international, regional, national, and civil society organisations and their networks to ensure appropriate implementation of the
recommendations of AMCDRR;
Appreciating the theme and objectives of the Fourth AMCDRR “DRR through Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)”;
Key activities for DRR and CCA

climate and disaster risk information and technologies, and conduct harmonized regional and sub-regional
high-level meetings to share experiences and promote integration of DRR & CCA;
On promoting integration of DRR & CCA into development for green growth: to promote the adoption of
standard hazard profiles, promote integration of DRR & CCA in land use planning and into development

programmatic supports to accelerate implementation of HFA in Asia and the Pacific countries,
especially the national action plans on DRR;
