The NEAR International Forum 2015 was held on November 19, 2015 at Millennium Seoul Hilton, Seoul Metropolitan City, South Korea, co-hosted by the NEAR Secretariat and Institute of Global Affairs of Kyung Hee University. The Forum, themed “Disaster and Governance in Northeast Asia” was prepared to cover each country’s cases to take actions for disasters, share information related to disaster prevention among member regions, and strengthen the mutual tie between them. The forum was attended by more than 200 people, including staff in disaster prevention, scholars, and staff from international organizations along with representatives from 25 member regions across five countries such as China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Russia. They had in-depth discussion for disasters like earthquake, transboundary environmental problem, desertification, and diseases each country is experiencing and joint reactions to address these issues. The 7th NEAR International Forum has been held every year or every other year since 2007 to address all issues related to Northeast Asian regions and prepare joint reactions at the regional government’s level.
