The "RC3 Global Annual Meeting," jointly organized by the Korean Red Cross and the Red Cross Research Network (RC3), was successfully held from September 25 to 27 at the Seoul Office of the Korean Red Cross. This meeting, the sixth annual event of RC3, brought together research institutions and experts from Red Cross and Red Crescent societies worldwide to share and discuss various research outcomes aimed at enhancing the professionalism and effectiveness of humanitarian activities. The meeting served as an important turning point in exploring scientific approaches to various humanitarian issues such as climate change, disasters, and conflicts, and in providing better humanitarian support through collaboration with national Red Cross societies. The Korean Red Cross operates the Asia Pacific Disaster Resilience Centre, an International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) reference center, which focuses on disaster risk reduction in the Asia-Pacific region and strengthening community resilience. Additionally, the Korean Red Cross conducts various research and educational activities, including disaster education utilizing VR technology and climate resilience campaigns. 📌LINK https://apdisasterresilience.org/153/?q=YToxOntzOjEyOiJrZXl3b3JkX3R5cGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjt9&bmode=view&idx=117960244&t=board #RC3 #REDCROSS #APDRC #WORKSHOP #redcrescent #consortium

Asia Pacific Community Resilience CoP - Regional Meeting Summary Since we started in 2016, the Asia Pacific Disaster Resilience Centre(APDRC) has been working hard to share and spread disaster resilience knowledge across 38 Red Cross Societies in the Asia-Pacific region. Since 2019, we've been hosting the Asia-Pacific Disaster Resilience Networking Meeting three times a year to keep this effort going strong. 2024, we're planning to take this network to the next level by teaming up with the Urban Resilience Group under the AP Community of Practice(CoP). To kick things off, we had a joint meeting in July with the Asia-Pacific Urban Resilience Hub. At this meeting, we decided to form a one big knowledge community, CoP.

UCP는 오는 목요일까지 진행됩니다. 많은 관심 부탁드립니다. What promise did Lee Seung-gi make at the international conference? On July 2, Lee Seung-gi, the climate crisis resilience ambassador for the Korean Red Cross, attended the Urban Collaboration Platform (UCP) held in Seoul. Lee Seung-gi stated, “Since being appointed as the climate crisis resilience ambassador for the Korean Red Cross last year, I have tried to practice climate action in my daily life by turning off unnecessary lights and unplugging electronic devices when not in use,” and he promised, “I will always participate and support efforts to create resilient cities and communities.” The UCP will continue until this Thursday.

What is urban resilience? The UN-Habitat defines urban resilience as ”the ability of any urban system, with its inhabitants, to maintain continuity through all shocks and stresses, while positively adapting and transforming toward sustainability.“ This means creating environments that are not only livable but also resilient enough to handle the unexpected. In today’s rapidly changing world, where climate change, population growth, and unforeseen events are becoming the norm, building resilient cities is more important than ever. Think of urban resilience as a city’s immune system. Just as our bodies can fight off illnesses and recover from injuries, resilient cities are equipped to deal with various stresses and shocks. This involves a mix of well-planned infrastructure, strong so, sustainable practices, and effective governance. According to IFRC, the world’s urban population is growing by 1.4 million people per week. If this trend continues, around two thirds of the world will be living in the cities by 2050. Furthermore, John Wilmoth, the Director of the UN‘s population division(UN DESA) stated ”managing urban areas has become one of the most important development challenges of the 21st century. Our success or failure in building sustainable cities will be a major factor in the success of the post 2015 UN development agenda.“ #redcross #apdrc #upc #urbanresilience #대한적십자사 #적십자 #도시복원력

도시복원력이란 무엇일까요? 유엔재난위험경감사무국(UNDRR) 에서는 도시복원력이란 “홍수, 지진, 허리케인, 산불, 화학 물질 누출, 단전와 같은 자연적 및 인위적인 극심한 충격뿐만 아니라 지하수 고갈, 노숙, 실업 등 사회, 경제적 현안과 같이 장기간에 거쳐 발생하는 만성적인 스트레스에 견디고 이를 복구하는 능력을 말한다” 라고 합니다. 도시복원력은 우리 몸의 면역체계와 같습니다. 우리 몸 속 면역 덕분에 우리가 병을 이기고 부상에서 회복할 수 있는 것처럼, 회복력이 높은 도시는 다양한 스트레스와 충격에 대처할 수 있는 장비를 갖추고 있습니다. 센다이 강령에 의하면 이러한 도시를 위해서는 재난 복원력을 위한 조직 구성, 재정적 / 기관 역량 강화, 효과적인 재난 대비와 대응력 등 많은 사항들이 필요합니다. 국제적십자사가 세계 인구분포의 흐름이 어떻게 변화해 갈 것인지에 대한 장기 전망을 내놓았습니다. 매 주마다 도시의 인구가 약 140만 명 증가하고 있으며, 이 추세가 계속된다면 2050년에는 약 셋 중 둘은 도시에 거주할 예정입니다. 또한, 존 윌모스(John Wilmoth) 유엔인구국장은 “도시 관리는 21세기의 가장 중요한 개발과제 가운데 하나가 됐다. 지속가능한 도시 건설의 성패가 ‘포스트 2015 유엔 개발 아젠다’의 주축이 될 것이다. ” 라고 말했습니다. #redcross #대한적십자사 #적십자 #도시복원력 #urbanresilience
