Since March 2011, PBV has supported communities affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake & Tsunami. To this day, we continue to work with local residents in the region’s long-term recovery.
PBV responds to disasters in Japan and abroad, working with local stakeholders in order to deliver assistance that is most needed to affected communities.
Training communities to prepare and volunteers to respond to future disasters helps to save lives, livelihoods and assets. PBV is also actively involved with a number of networks to promote cross-sector cooperation in Disaster Risk Reduction.
As a campaign partner of UNISDR’s “Making Cities Resilient” campaign, PBV raises awareness, connects stakeholders and trains DRR leaders.
Peace Boat is an Organizing Partner of the NGO Major Group for the 3rd UN World Conference on DRR held in Sendai, March 2015.
Peace Boat’s “100 Resilient Youth” campaign aims to build capacity of 100 young leaders in DRR around the world.
