The Organizing Committee of the APMCDRR 2024 invites the conference participants to take part in the host country field trip programme on Friday 18 October 2024. This unique programme is designed to showcase the Philippines' rich cultural heritage and highlight the multi-sectoral initiatives on disaster risk reduction undertaken by national and local government partners, the private sector and community-based organizations in the Philippines.
