Message to the Natural Disaster Youth Summit 
2010 Turkiye     

 

          First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the holding of 6th Natural Disaster Youth Summit 2010 in Turkiye. 
I really appreciate the devotion of the members of
Tuncsiper Schools and Uludag University , Bursa , Turkiye. It is my honor to address this message to all the participants of the NDYS.

          The year-round Natural Disaster Youth Summit (NDYS) is one of the projects of iEARN (International Education and Resource Network) whose aim is to provide international cooperation among youths for environmental subjects without seeking profit. 

            NDYS started from September 2004, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, Japan . 
We learned the importance of human lives and preparedness for disasters. Now, due to the climate change, the ravages from natural disasters
become greater than before .By sharing those knowledge

and information to reduce the impact of natural disasters in each community, we learned disaster reduction and climate change mitigation and adaptation share common goals.

             In this era of rapidly evolving forms of communication, children and young adults of today have greater access to more knowledge and greater possibilities than ever before. This century must be the age to cope with disasters and mitigate them by connecting youth around the world.

           Every year, we welcome new members from around world. We are happy to work to make citizens aware of and prepared to cope with disasters. By connecting youth around the world to examine the issues surrounding natural disasters, we are making an impact on the planet. The work that we are doing is important. Please be proud of yourself, that you are making a contribution to the healthier planet.  

Our ultimate goal is: building the safer place to live in for everyone in this planet and achieving Sustainable Development. NDYS will build a global disaster management education network utilizing Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Finally, I express my warmest wishes for a successful summit!
