During a high-level regional meeting held in Bangkok, Thailand, fifty-three nations voiced their backing for a collaborative approach to handling climate-related emergencies. Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, addressed the gathering with a specific proposal centred on space technology utilisation, satellite data sharing, and information exchange designed to confront climate challenges and lower disaster vulnerabilities across the area. The discussions at the Fifth Ministerial Conference addressed three primary focus areas. Participants examined interconnected dangers linked to climate variations, glaciers, and geological movements. Furthermore, attendees highlighted the necessity of maintaining prompt cross-border sharing regarding emergency details, hydrological statistics, and hazard assessments. Additional talks during the event focused on upgrading early warning mechanisms through satellite imagery, space technology, artificial intelligence, and youth-led innovation. The collective agreement aims to improve overall disaster preparedness across the entire Asia-Pacific region through coordinated cross-border partnerships.
