PTC Group joins APMCDRR 2024
OCTOBER 18, 2024
The PTC Group, through its Corporate Public Policy, Risks, and Sustainability (SSRB) department, PHILCAMSAT, and PTC RISE, actively participated in the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR) from 14 to 18 October 2024 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila. As part of this engagement, PTC Group hosted a booth at the Marketplace, showcasing our disaster risk management practices and initiatives aligned with the goals of the conference.
The APMCDRR is the primary regional platform to monitor, review, and enhance cooperation for the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. It gathers governments, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, academia, and civil society to accelerate disaster risk reduction efforts across Asia and the Pacific.
At the Marketplace, PTC Group’s booth emphasized our commitment to human capital development efforts in disaster risk reduction (DRR), recognizing the critical role seafarers play in disaster preparedness and response. PHILCAMSAT showcased training programs that focus on disaster risk awareness and preparedness for maritime professionals, equipping them to effectively respond to emergencies at sea. PTC RISE presented its community engagement initiatives, which aim to bolster local resilience through education and livelihood support, particularly in disaster-prone areas.
Under the theme "Surge to 2030: Enhancing Ambition in Asia-Pacific to Accelerate Disaster Risk Reduction," the conference provided an opportunity for PTC Group to strengthen its commitment to DRR and share its efforts with global stakeholders. PTC Group's participation at APMCDRR 2024 aligns with our broader mission to promote inclusive disaster risk governance, enhance urban and rural resilience, and ensure no one is left behind in DRR efforts.
By engaging with governments and the private sector, PTC Group reaffirmed its role in advancing disaster resilience, particularly in the maritime industry and seafaring communities, contributing to global efforts aimed at reducing disaster risks by 2030.
