Since 2022, Incheon Metropolitan City, a Resilience Hub under Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030), has hosted the International Disaster Resilience Leaders Forum (IDRLF) as an annual platform to exchange practical solutions and lessons for building local and urban resilience in the face of growing disaster and climate risks.
IDRLF is co-organized by the Incheon Metropolitan City, the Incheon Institute and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Office for Northeast Asia and Global Education and Training Institute (ONEA & GETI), with the support of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) of the Republic of Korea, and in partnership with the Trilateral Cooperation Secretariat (TCS). Every year, the Forum brings together hundreds of participants representing national and local governments, international and regional organizations, civil society and private sector stakeholders from around the world, to discuss key emerging topics related to disaster risk reduction.

The forum focused on advancing international collaboration and reinforcing global-local partnerships to accelerate implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
National and local leaders and practitioners shared experience and good practices in applying innovative technologies and measures for disaster resilience and climate change adaptation. Participants also discussed opportunities and challenges for technology application and transfer in the context of disaster risk reduction, including access to knowledge, funding and capacity development.
The Forum highlighted the role of cities in reducing disaster risk and strengthening local resilience, and to develop recommendations to scale up the number of local governments taking effective action to prevent and reduce disaster risk and supporting the global sustainable development policy agenda.
