The ICSD 2023 Organizing Committee, representing the Global Association of Master's in Development Practice Programs (MDP) and in collaboration with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), has granted approval for our proposed session titled "Session 2B: Linking the SDGs, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation and mitigation in sustainable land use and development planning" within the conference track 2, focusing on Climate Change.

Furthermore, we are delighted to announce that Dr. Dina C. Magnaye (Dean & Associate Professor, UP SURP) (First in the Photo below from the left), Dr. Engr. Tabassam Raza (Executive Director, PLANADES & Professor Lecturer II, UP SURP) (Second in the Photo below from the left), and EnP. Carmelita R.E.U. Liwag (College Secretary and Assistant Professor, UP SURP) (Third in the Photo below from the left) have been chosen to serve as members of the Scientific Committee. Their appointments reflect their roles as esteemed researchers and global leaders contributing to the Scientific Committee for ICSD 2023.

The 2B. Linking the SDGs, disaster risk reduction, and climate change adaptation and mitigation in sustainable land use and development planning is about linking Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (CCAM) for urban and regional sustainable land use and development planning is essential. Through this approach, we can address the fundamental and related questions of progressing past the midpoint of the SDGs. The struggles to rebuild in the aftermath or in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic permits us to take the bold and transformative steps to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path at all spatial scales. This session aims to disseminate pioneering approaches particularly around mainstreaming DRR, CCAM, SDGs, and the COVID-19 response in urban and regional land use and sustainable development planning, socio-ecological systems, economies, energy provision, transport networks, health systems, food production, and institutional resilience.
