Panel Discussion
Outline: Although the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction explicitly mentioned to the issues of disaster recovery under the slogan (Article 4) of “Build Back Better,” varieties of interpretation have been given to articulate this concept into each domestic context. For the purpose of identifying the common social phenomena and challenges in the phase of post-disaster recovery across Asia, we will explore the issues of institutions and policies in the post-disaster recovery phases of major disasters in Asia. Following the keynote speech by Prof. T. Toyoda, 6 international panelists will discuss on varieties of the BBB notion peculiar to each country. The nationalities of the panelists include China, Indonesia, Nepal, Myanmar in addition to Japan. Prof. Y. Kaneko will serve as coordinator.
