The study on Transboundary Disaster Risk Assessment and Scenario Planning for Tropical Cyclone and Droughts in the ASEAN Region provides an in-depth assessment on the impacts of transboundary disasters based on various transboundary disaster risk scenarios which focused on three ASEAN Member States namely Cambodia, the Philippines and Viet Nam, while considering tropical cyclones and droughts for the transboundary risk scenarios.
The study underlines the potential impacts of tropical cyclones and drought in the ASEAN region as well as highlights recommendations for the ASEAN Member States to enhance disaster risk management actions in line with the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) Work Programme 2021-2025.
The study showcases the need for collaboration on transboundary disaster risk management in the ASEAN region. The overall coordination in the planning and development for the study of the ASEAN Secretariat is appreciated. The Asian Development Bank's support and collaboration in this study are critical to advance the learning of transboundary risk issues.
