4th International Symposium on Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development (DRSD 2025)

24 Nov 2025

Disaster Preparedness Mitigation and Management (DPMM) AIT is pleased to invite you to participate in the upcoming event “The 4th International Symposium on Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development (DRSD 2025)“. 

About DRSD 2025

Disaster risk has become more complex due to the impending effects of climate change, disruptive technology, rapid infrastructure development, and growing anthropogenic pressures. Under current development pathways, we should prepare to face the possibility of more compounding hazards and complex risk landscapes in the future. 

The “4th International Symposium on Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development”, referred to as DRSD 2025, organized by the Asian Institute of Technology, gathers experts, practitioners, policymakers, and students from Asia Pacific and beyond to present a discourse on improving development practices to reduce long-term complex risks and promote equitable sustainability. With wide-ranging thematic areas and diverse participation, DRSD 2025 is well placed to explore the complex challenges faced by Asia Pacific and beyond and collaborate for effective solutions. 

The international symposium will be held from 24-26 November 2025 as a fully in-person event. The program will include keynote speeches, panel discussions, technical sessions, poster presentations, and academic exhibitions. DRSD 2025 will also serve as a platform for participants to build new networks and partnerships or strengthen existing ones to enhance future collaboration opportunities.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The conference is open to academics, practitioners, students, public officials, private institutions, non-governmental organisations, and intergovernmental organisations within the disaster risk reduction and sustainable development sectors. Participants from Asia Pacific and beyond are open to join.
