IETC, in partnership with the Asia Cultural Council for UNESCO and Kyoto University, organized a capacity building workshop for more than 40 professionals from various countries in the Asia Pacific region on the theme of "Participatory Urban Risk Management" The workshop's objectives were:

  1. To provide opportunities for participants coming from different fields and countries to share their experiences and knowledge on sustainable urban risk management issues
  2. To develop information dissemination methodologies on assessment of urban risk, proactive risk education, decision making for sustainable management, and urban eco communities,
  3. To develop learning material and decision-making tools for sustainable urban management to be used by local government officials, development practitioners including NGOs, local decision-makers, and local community leaders.

To achieve the above three objectives, the workshop was structured along the six thematic modules, namely: (a) risk assessment, (b) action planning, (c) decision-making, (d) implementation management, (e) education for sustainable development, and (f) information and communication management.
