Disaster Risk Reduction Training in Southern Highlands Drives Peacebuilding
World Vision's Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) training in Sepionda, Southern Highlands, has been a turning point for local communities facing the growing impacts of climate change. The training, which focused on using local materials and plants to reduce disaster risks, taught participants practical ways to protect their homes and land, like planting trees to prevent erosion. It also provided valuable peace-building and conflict-resolution tools, helping people understand that natural disasters are not caused by spirits or revenge, as previously believed. After a recent landslide, the community’s new knowledge helped prevent violence. Leaders expressed deep gratitude for the training and the hope for continued support to better prepare for future challenges.

APCSS Children & Youth Call for Action 2024
Disasters pose a substantial and growing threat to children and youth's well-being, and climate change is a rising threat to the environment and livelihood, including the survival and well-being of future generations. However, children and youth continue to be on the frontlines in combating climate change and building resilience in their communities. There have been consultative and robust research on child-centred risk reduction and school safety developed globally and in Asia-Pacific. Drawing from the findings, we highlight young people’s voices and perspectives in urging governments, DRR partners, and practitioners to undertake the following actions in line with the underlying goals of the 10th APMCDRR.
