Challenges, Lessons, and Innovations for Strengthening Integrated Flood Risk Management 9 March to 5 April 2022 This webinar sought to engage with flood managers, decision-makers, technical specialists, and ADB program professionals for an exchange of ideas and experiences directed toward strengthening the practice of flood management across Asia. The webinars were conducted in a series of five 90-minute sessions held over 5 weeks starting from 09 March 2022. The webinar series was an initiative of the Knowledge Support and Technical Assistance Project on Strengthening Integrated Flood Risk Management (TA 9634-REG). Funded with support from the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF), the project has conducted a range of investigations to address flood risk challenges and developed knowledge products on selected issues.
