ConclusionConclusion• Contributions of the academe, international

institutions, and scientific partners for research collaborations is essential– Applied research and related studies (i.e. Risk

Modeling, Climate Analyses)– Mainstreaming risk in planning and macro-

economic-analyses- Researches be readily available and

understandable for policy leaders and non-technical administrators
