ANSO-MAS 2025: The 2nd Conference on
Environmental Hazards in Asia - Building
Resilience to Future Hazards
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - July 28-31st 2026
Future environmental hazards demand more than isolated solutions. They require bold, multidisciplinary action. Resilience begins with research that asks the right questions and gives leaders the insight to protect lives and livelihoods. But science alone is not enough. Effective strategies must grow from local communities, and education must empower every generation to adapt and thrive.
These were the key takeaways from the first Environmental Hazards Conference held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia in 2024. Now we take the next step: uniting academia, industry, governments, and NGOs to launch transformative research projects across Asia that strengthen resilience to future hazards and the changing climate.
This year, we will also explore how the latest space and satellite technologies, ground-based geophysical instrumentation and data-driven AI analytics can work together as technology for good, turning innovation into impact for communities on the frontlines.
We invite participants from academia, industry, government and non-governmental organisations to participate. We especially welcome those from across Asia, from all career stages. This reflects the challenges of integrating research across all disciplines, involving industry, governments, diplomats and others in the design and implementation of projects and understanding the opportunities and challenges that new technology and infrastructure may pose. Together we will connect disciplines, harness technology, and design solutions that work on the ground. This conference is about both dialogue and action. Dedicated spaces will foster collaboration and co-create proposals that drive real change.
Let’s build the future of resilience together.
