Assessing Climate and Disaster Risks of Infrastructure Systems
11 November 2020
As countries in Asia and the Pacific face an increasingly uncertain future, enhancing the resilience of infrastructure to disasters and climate change requires innovative and effective measures to evaluate multi-hazard risk. This session shared four brief case studies (Indonesia, Myanmar, Tonga, Viet Nam) from international and regional experts highlighting risk assessment approaches and solutions, followed by participant break-out groups which explored the cases in further detail.
This Webinar was part of Season 1 of the Virtual Dialogues on Resilient Infrastructure series.
