Fourth EAS Youth Forum
Theme: Charting the Future We Want
Venue: Danang People’s Committee Hall
Date: 16‐21 November 2015
Background
The Earth Summit of 1992 and the World Summit on Sustainable Development of 2012 both posited how
critical it is to include the youth in achieving sustainable development goals. It is now 2015 and
fundamental questions regarding youth participation should be addressed: What role does the youth
have in influencing the post‐2015 sustainable development agenda? How do governments ensure that the
youth are included in the process from the very beginning? How does the youth directly contribute to the
achievement of these global targets?
The EAS Youth Forum (YF) is one of the special events of the EAS Congress which was first launched in
2006. The 1st YF adopted the Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia, detailing a plan of action on
informing, inspiring and involving the region’s youth. In 2009, the 2nd YF committed to the sustainable
development of the seas of East Asia through the Youth Statement and Country Work Plans. The 3rd YF in
2012 formulated the Changwon Youth Declaration on the Protection of the Seas of East Asia.
Now on its fourth cycle, the EAS Youth Forum (YF4) carries the theme, “Charting the Future We Want:
Engaging Young Champions for the Ocean Beyond 2015.” The YF4 will gather young leaders in the EAS
Page 9 of 86region to showcase their initiatives contributing to the sustainable development agenda. Putting the
youth as actors for, and stakeholders to a healthy world, YF4 will encourage participants to display ideas
and convictions, innovative frameworks, approaches and methodologies in addressing pressing
environmental issues in their respective communities.
Objectives
The YF4 aims to:
a. Discuss the youth’s crucial role in the post‐2015 development agenda by recognizing young leaders
and innovators involved in youth‐led ridge‐to‐reef initiatives in the EAS region;
b. Provide a conducive platform for mutual exchange of knowledge, experience and skills in sustainable
ocean and coastal management;
c. Strengthen the youth’s capacity to develop and/or lead initiatives in the local, national or regional
level;
d. Review the recommendations to national and local governments, nongovernmental organizations,
universities and the private sector drafted in previous youth forums (e.g., Changwon Youth
Declaration 2012, EAS Youth Forum Statement 2009, Youth Agenda for the Seas of East Asia 2006);
e. Sustain and expand the network of young people empowered to take actions in protecting the
region’s oceans and coasts through the EAS Youth Network and its country hubs; and
f. Develop case studies showcasing the environmental initiatives of the youth participants.
Target Audience
The YF4 is open to the youth, ages 18 to 25 years old, from the countries in the EAS region: Brunei
Darussalam, Cambodia, PR China, DPR Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Philippines, RO Korea,
Singapore, Thailand, Timor‐Leste, and Vietnam. It will target 70 participants consisting of university
students, young professionals, and active members of youth organization/s and institution/s working in
the field of sustainable development. In line with the objectives to build the capacity of youth on coastal
and ocean management and development, youth from communities where integrated coastal
management (ICM) programs are being implemented are highly encouraged to participate.
Expected Outputs
Some of the expected outputs include
an exhibit of relevant case studies/projects on initiatives led by the youth;
a YF toolkit;
empowered working groups grounded on specific coastal issues for the establishment of
the EAS Youth Network; and
Youth Statement/Declaration on actual commitments to address relevant coastal issues

Workshop 1.1: Managing risks in climate change and disasters in the seas of East Asia
Venue: Furama Ballroom 1 (Day 1); Furama Ballroom 3 (Day 2)
Date: November 17‐18, 2015
Time: 1030‐1800
Workshop Co‐conveners: Korea Marine Environment Management Corporation (KOEM); Korea
Environment Institute (KEI)
Workshop coordinator: Mr. Danilo Bonga and Ms. Daisy Padayao, PEMSEA
TITLE OF WORKSHOP:
Managing risks in climate change and disasters in the seas of East Asia
Owing to its geographical location, socioeconomic condition and growing population, the East Asian Seas
(EAS) region is one of the most vulnerable areas to the impacts of the changing climate. Socioeconomic
losses and environmental issues have been aggravated by stronger typhoons, prolonged droughts,
intense flooding and sea level rise. Addressing climate change and disaster risks is key because it provides
opportunities to improve, strengthen and realize the ingenuities of societies to adapt. Of varying scope,
strategies and methodologies, efforts at all levels (globally, regionally, nationally and locally) and sectors
are increasing towards adapting to the impacts of climate change, reducing the vulnerabilities of
communities and enhancing their capacities to cope and respond to disaster risk.
Governed by the commitments made by the EAS countries in the last three past Congresses, and by the
recent changes towards a post‐2015 frameworks by three important international instruments, namely,
sustainable development agenda and goals, climate change and disaster risk reduction, it is an opportune
time to re‐visit progress made to advance specific actions for managing risks in the seas of East Asia
Over the years, the region has seen the explosive growth in the knowledge and information on the
impacts and risks, which were translated as policy changes and practice in CCA and DRR, including the
scaling up ICM. We have rejoiced in well crafted implementation. But we have missed in some too:
knowledge gaps, capacity development and financing and investment needs.
To date however, a strategy for East Asia integrating interventions to further address threat of climate
change and reduce disaster risk has not been adopted. Adopting a strategic framework for adaptation—
with clearer goals and targets—would help set the direction for, and track progress in managing risks in
climate change and disasters the EAS region.
The workshop is a two‐day event. It will articulate and encapsulate valuable lesson lessons learned. Too,
as offered by the new paradigms, this is a forum which aims to articulate new ways of looking at climate
change and disaster risks as more than just an external shock but symptomatic of continuing
accumulation of risks driven by economic and development plans, policies and actions.
Page 22 of 86The workshop will present good practices, working models and innovative solutions in managing risks in
climate change and disasters at the local level in the EAS region. It will discuss how an integrated
approach has facilitated local governments to adapt, prepare and reduce disaster risks. These local
initiatives will also highlight their contribution in addressing national priorities, regional and global
targets to CCA/DRR.
The workshop will also tackle the need for a strategic framework for CCA/DRR, and how its
implementation can be facilitated and scaled up through the transfer and replication of working models
and good practices in CCA/DRR. The workshop will identify priority areas for implementation, key targets,
needs and challenges, including opportunities for knowledge‐sharing, replication and collaborative
efforts for advancing CCA/DRR in the EAS region.
The forum offers a platform to synergize actions in East Asia that needs to be coherently complementing
those set forth by the three international instruments.
TARGET AUDIENCE AND EXPECTED NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS:
● Practitioners of ICM, climate change and disaster risk reduction programs
● Regional and international organizations, NGOs working on climate change and disaster risk
reduction programs
● National and local governments, including ICM sites,
● Business sector, academe, interdisciplinary researchers
● ICM Learning Centers and academic institutions
FORMAT OF THE EVENT:
Workshop with keynote presentations, related presentations and panel discussions
OBJECTIVE(S):
The workshop aims to:
● Articulate and encapsulate the lesson lessons learned in the last 10 years and new paradigms of
looking at issues of climate change and disaster risk reduction.

KEY MESSAGE(S) OF THE WORKSHOP
The maritime transport sector is an essential component to blue economy.
IMO has developed and maintained a comprehensive regulatory framework that provides countries
Page 29 of 86with a blueprint for a sustainable maritime transport industry.
As environmental sustainability is increasingly recognized as an important consideration for
transport, the sector is coming under greater pressure to shift towards greener, low‐carbon and
more environment‐friendly patterns.
Over the past few years, maritime transport has increasingly moved to the center stage of
discussions on climate change and energy sustainability. The drive to improve the sector’s
environmental and energy performance, including its carbon footprint, is driven both by regulation
(for example, the IMO) and by customers’ demands for greater corporate social responsibility in
global supply chains.
Several government‐ and industry‐led initiatives have emerged to mainstream sustainability criteria
into planning processes, policies, and investment strategies.
There is a need to formulate or reshape approaches and strategies to promote blue economy
complemented with sustainable and integrated maritime policies, programmes and investment
strategies that balance economic, environmental and social objectives towards sustainable and
inclusive development.

Workshop Co‐conveners: GIZ and Ocean Policy Research Institute‐ Sasakawa Peace Foundation (OPRI‐SPF)
Supporting organization: UNDP
Workshop Coordinator: Mr. Yinfeng Guo, PEMSEA
TARGET AUDIENCE:
Members of governing bodies of regional seas programs, mechanisms and initiatives, senior
national and local ocean and coastal development planners and managers from EAS region
Beneficiaries of regional seas programs, initiatives and mechanisms, including:
o Community of practice in fishery, MPAs, climate change adaptation, water resource
management, pollution reduction, etc
o Business community
o Academia, PEMSEA Regional Centers of Excellence, ICM learning Centers, etc
o Local government representatives
o Non‐governmental organizations
OBJECTIVE(S):
1. To showcase the progress, achievements, impacts and lessons learnt from transboundary
management of LMEs and regional seas governance in the EAS region and globally;
2. To learn from national initiatives in institutional, policy and legal reforms in support of
implementation of LME SAPs and regional sustainable development strategies;
3. To better understand the challenges and gaps in research and education, implementation and
reporting, and transboundary partnerships within the seas of East Asia and identify solutions and
respond to challenges, and opportunities for collaboration among regional mechanisms, national
and local governments and donor agencies; and
4. To facilitate exchanges in regional and national policies and initiatives for coastal and ocean
governance reflected in the Future We Want at Rio+20 and SDGs
Rationale
The six Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) and subregional seas1 of East Asian region are experiencing
physical, ecological and socio‐economic changes associated with infrastructure development,
urbanization, extreme climate events, land and sea‐based activities, and population increase.
International cooperation at regional and LME levels has facilitated in many ways collaborative
responses among countries to the challenges and uncertainties with countries’ adoption of ocean
policies and measures in alignment with the regional action programs such as the strategic action
programme (SAP) and regional sustainable development strategy.
What are the drivers that have shaped the regional coast and ocean governance? What achievements
and impact have these regional governance mechanisms made in addressing overfishing,
eutrophication, loss of coastal and marine biodiversity and other transboundary issues in the last
decade? What are the gaps in our understanding of the coasts and oceans? What are the innovative
implementation and governance mechanisms for SAPs and the regional strategy? What should the
1
Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, Sulu‐Sulawesi Seas, Indonesia Seas and Gulf of Thailand
Page 33 of 86collaborating countries do in terms of policy and regulatory framework and institutional arrangements
to make these regional mechanisms and initiatives work more effectively? This workshop is designed to
facilitate regional and national initiatives to respond to the ocean agenda enshrined in the Future We
Want at Rio+20 and SDGs. The workshop seeks to attract around 180‐200 participants.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS:
1. Improved knowledge and appreciation of progresses, achievements, and impacts of regional ocean
governance in the EAS region at national and subnational, LME and regional level;
2. Better understanding of the gaps, challenges, lessons learnt and opportunities for making regional
governance of transboundary LMEs and regional seas more country‐owned, effective and
sustainable; and
3. Elaboration and common understanding on the way forward in development of national policies
and regulatory framework and partnerships for improving coastal and ocean governance to
contribute to achieve SDGs in the EAS region
