Description
A global event held in Indonesia's tsunami-hit Aceh province aims to shape new strategies for resilience against evolving natural disasters. Hundreds of guests from different countries attend the 2nd Global Tsunami Symposium which is convened ahead of the 20th anniversary of the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami.
"In different parts of the world that are not used to tsunamis, but because of climate change, we're going to have more mudslides, when glaciers melt there might be big mountains, parts of the stones and rocks from the mountains falling into the sea ...these are new things that are emerging and we need to be able to assess and prepare," said Vidar Helgesen, executive secretary of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission and assistant director-general of UNESCO.
