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.
