The AMCDRR was held from July 3-6, 2018, in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The conference was attended
by 50 governments and 3000 delegates from Asia and Pacific region countries and had sessions on
ministerial statements, 20 lead sessions, 60 side events, 50 ignite state talks and 50 market place
exhibitions. The conference was overall in the series and second after Sendai. The biennial AMCDRR
has established itself as an important vehicle to address the global and regional disaster challenges.
It provides an opportunity to address such issues through cross-border leadership and solutions that
can benefit the people and the countries of the region.
