Tropical coasts magazine, vol. 14 no. 2

The latest issue of the Tropical Coasts features the programs and activities of local governments in addressing disaster risk reduction (DRR), as well as mainstreaming DRR into integrated coastal management (ICM).

The issue also highlights the 2007 Forum of the PEMSEA Network of Local Governments for Sustainable Coastal Development (PNLG) held in Danang, Vietnam, on 5-7 September 2007. The forum provided a venue for facilitating the exchange of information and experiences in DRR among local governments, national agencies, partner organizations, civil society groups and the private sector. It also provided a platform for the ICM sites to discuss how institutional strengthening in the context of DRR can be achieved and to identify innovative solutions and opportunities to implement DRR options based on specific risk context and circumstances of the respective sites.

Local governments featured in the issue include Danang City (Vietnam) and Xiamen (PR China).
