It is said that due to global warming, disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction also emphasizes that disaster risk reduction is not solely the responsibility of experts—it requires the involvement of governments, businesses, and individuals alike, encouraging everyone to consider how to reduce disaster risks in their daily lives and work. With this perspective in mind, we hope to raise awareness of disaster prevention among a broader audience. Leveraging collaboration with the past four World Bosai Forums, key themes also include industry-academia partnerships and the social implementation of disaster research.

Leveraging 33 years of experience in the private sector, I was involved in the organization of the “World Bosai Forum,” a citizen-participatory international conference on disaster risk reduction held in Sendai in 2023 and 2025.
