ASEAN-UN Joint Strategic Plan of Action on Disaster Management IV 2021-2025
2021
Action Plan / Plan of Action / Roadmap,
- The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) is a legally binding regional agreement, signed in 2005 and ratified on 24 December 2009, to address the issues arising from the risk and impact of natural disasters in the ASEAN region, and to guide the regional cooperation in the field of disaster management and response. Since its inception, it has galvanized ASEAN to take concrete action towards building a safe and united ASEAN Community through disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation initiatives. Since the AADMER was entered into force in 2009, two AADMER Work Programmes (2010-2015, 2016-2020) have been developed by the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM). Despite the challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the AADMER Work Programme 2021-2025 was adopted in November 2020.
- The ASEAN Community was launched at the end of 2015 through the adoption of ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together, comprised of the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 and the blueprints for community building by three (3) community pillars. This strategic document charts the direction that ASEAN will take in the next ten years to deepen ASEAN Community integration; support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in the ASEAN region by providing a platform for participative collaboration and inclusive partnerships towards building and deepening integration among ASEAN Member States; and provide for a rules-based, peoplecentered and people-oriented approach. Complementing the 2025 Vision was the development of the ASEAN Vision 2025 on Disaster Management.
- The AADMER Work Programme is aligned with key ASEAN documents, such as the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, and relevant global agreements, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 (SFDRR); the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. By aligning with the SFDRR and the relevant SDGs, the AADMER Work Programme 2021-2025 strives to prioritize relevant global targets and goals that are scalable and regionally applicable.
