• Working Group on the Culture of Prevention (WG-CoP)

The WG-CoP was established to ensure the implementation of the ASEAN Declaration on Culture of Prevention (CoP) for a Peaceful, Inclusive, Resilient, Healthy and Harmonious Society, adopted by the ASEAN Leaders at the 31st ASEAN Summit in Manila on 13 November 2017.  It meets at least once a year to discuss the progress and updates on the ASEAN Plan of Action on CoP. The Working Group works to promote the six thrusts of CoP as described in the declaration, which are (i) a culture of peace and intercultural understanding; (ii) a culture of respect for all; (iii) a culture of good governance at all levels; (iv) a culture of resilience and care for the environment; (v) a culture of healthy lifestyle; and (vi) a culture supporting the values of moderation.

The WG-CoP is guided by its Plan of Action that is regularly monitored and reported. Find out more about the ASEAN CoP.
