TECHNICAL SESSIONS

The 6th WCDM will provide a platform for interested scientific, technical, research, and academic institutions to organize Special Technical Sessions of 2-3 hours each on specific issues related to the theme of the conference.

The five key themes for technical sessions of the 6th WCDM are:

  • Innovations in disaster risk reduction and resilience

  • Mountain specific hazards and their management

  • Challenges in tackling DRR issues

  • Multidisciplinary research and best practices

  • Traditional risk reduction practices and voices from the grassroots
