All participants resoundingly call for immediate actions as we are directed toward ecological and social crisis. The natural disasters is a global problem that first off impacts the economically vulnerable population pushing people further into poverty. We must tackle the problem on all levels to increase the resilience of the planet to climate change, the participants concluded.

We look forward to further cooperation with our UNDP colleagues to continue our efforts in addressing global challenges.
