Describe the Relevance of Your Session to APrIGF | |||||||||||
Asia Pacific in geographically is vulnerable in different ways, natural disaster like earthquake, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, flood and drought as impact Asia Pacific heavily. World Meteorological Organization reports between 1991 to 2022, the earth warming has doubled for the period of 1961 to 1990. The average temperature has raised higher and higher each year, with the weather change, it may be harder to predict natural disaster happening. The theme for this session is to use a case study happened very recently to review and also reach out for more awareness on how we are vulnerable and what can we learn from the lessons. Looking back in Asia Pacific, many economies has experience different incidents, when we are more and more relied on internet, some issues and handle including natural disaster can be share for better understanding and speedy recovery. While we are building a stronger and resilience internet, what may be some emerging technology we can adopt, how we can improve the internet overall, in Asia Pacific area, we like to deep dive and perhaps have some meaning conclusion as good experience sharing, best practice for the different economies. |
