ANSO-MAS 2025: The 2nd Conference on
Environmental Hazards in Asia - Building
Resilience to Future Hazards
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - July 28-31st 2026
Understanding and building resilience to future environmental hazards must be underpinned by multidisciplinary research. It allows research to focus on the right questions and help political leaders to make informed decisions. Disaster management strategies must involve local communities so that they are effective and sustainable, and education needs to serve as the basis for all efforts to build resilience to future hazards. These are some of the conclusions from the 1st conference on Environmental Hazards held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2024. We aim to take this a step forward and bring together all stakeholders to build new projects in Asia to build resilience to future hazards.
We welcome participants from academia, industry, government and non-governmental organizations to participate. We especially welcome those from across Asia, from all career stages. This reflects the challenges of integrating research across all disciplines, involving industry, governments, diplomats and others in the design and implementation of projects, and understanding the opportunities and challenges that new technology and infrastructure may pose. The conference will provide a space for the exchange of ideas, building lasting connections, and contributing to the ongoing dialogue about our role in developing effective methods to build resilience to future hazards. Space will be provided at the conference to develop new proposals.
