A Glimpse of Our Changing World!

Presented at the A-PAD International Symposium 2023, this powerful video sheds light on the undeniable truth: our planet is undergoing rapid, drastic changes due to climate change. It's a wake-up call and an invitation to join hands and forge a path towards a climate-resilient tomorrow.

The harsh reality of melting ice caps, intensifying natural disasters, and vanishing species isn't just a series of disconnected events; it's a story of a world crying out for change. Through captivating visuals and compelling data, this video drives home the immediacy and scale of the challenge ahead.

But amidst the concerning truths, there is hope. With "Climate-Smart Collaboration Accelerating Transition Towards a Climate-Resilient Tomorrow" as our guiding theme, the A-PAD International Symposium urges us to recognize that the solutions lie in unity, knowledge, innovation, and collective action.

The Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Sri Lanka (A-PAD SL) hosted its annual International Symposium on the 30th of August,2022, critically assessing the issues at hand in the country and highlighting positive future prospects that can be worked towards, while placing emphasis on how disaster risk reduction can be given more prominence in the process. Under the theme "Crisis in Crises: Unlocking the Power of Alliances Towards Innovative Recovery", the Symposium brought together leading figures and international experts from different sectors to engage in a constructive dialogue on cross-sectoral collaboration between the public and private sectors and how these alliances can be utilized to facilitate innovative recovery and build stronger institutions for the future.

The annual Search and Rescue Swift Water Level 01 training organized by A-PAD SL was held from the 27th - 30th September 2022 at the Sri Lanka School of Military Engineering, Embilipitiya.

Supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Japan, through their Overseas Development Assistance (ODA), a cohort of 28 civil and military personnel both male and female were awarded with an international SAR Swift Water level 01 certification in the presence of H.E Mr MIZUKOSHI Hideaki, the Ambassador of Japan to Sri Lanka and Maj.
