Peace, Human Security and Dignity Week
Future Disaster Prevention and Mitigation
Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd.
In recent years, floods and abnormal weather events due to climate change have increased, and natural disaster countermeasures have become an important global issue. Originating in Japan, which is also a country prone to natural disasters, we believe that deepening discussions on disaster prevention and mitigation using digital technology on the occasion of the Osaka-Kansai Expo will lead to peacebuilding. Tokio Marine Group will collaborate with the public and private sectors to introduce the latest technologies and discuss global disaster countermeasures.

Programme details
Although Japan accounts for only 0.25% of the world's land area and 6% of the world's GDP, it is a “natural disaster-prone country,” accounting for 18.3% of the world's total disaster losses.
As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and the Osaka-Kansai Expo, we will contribute to the world by deepening the debate on these issues from Japan and discussing new forms of disaster prevention and mitigation using digital technology and other means.
We will discuss countermeasures against disasters around the world and consider disaster prevention and disaster mitigation in Mirai that can be presented toward peace, while introducing the latest technologies using keywords such as XR, digital twin, and disaster simulation, with local governments that have experienced past disasters and companies with the latest disaster prevention and disaster mitigation technologies.
