Roundtable Discussion Action Plan: The Academe's Role in Multi-Sectoral Engagement for Disaster and Climate Resilience

A roundtable discussion was conducted between academe and various stakeholders regarding the academe’s role in DRRM. The roundtable was an opportunity to review how the academe has been contributing to disaster and climate management efforts and how it has been collaborating with DRR actors in other sectors. Through open and uninhibited discourse in the roundtable, ideas on research agenda, policy recommendations, and avenues for collaboration have surfaced. These discussions are collected in this action plan as a guide for the academe to further carve its niche while strengthening linkages among other actors in the DRRM-CCA field. The academe’s commitment to the collective efforts with the government, the private sector, and civil society is a step closer to the multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder action envisioned in the Sendai Framework that is necessary for disaster, climate management, and the nation’s resilience.
