Added value of ESCAP
• Setting regional policies, norms, standards
• Integrating DRR into the regional sustainable development framework
• Addressing the risks associated with the geographical contagion and economic integration
• Promoting regional cooperation and collective action
• Facilitating mutual supports to high-risk, low-capacity countries
• Giving strong regional voice particularly on behalf of the voiceless
