Collaborating on innovative and sustainable solutions for integrated water management Read more about Collaborating on innovative and sustainable solutions for integrated water management This presentation discussed ‘The Climate Resilient City Toolbox’ (CRCT), which supports collaborative spatial planning of adaptation measures and/or explores alternatives for a resilient and attractive urban area. Participants learned how a well-balanced plan can best be co-created by multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders in the conceptual phase of planning. A customized CRCT used in an ADB pre-feasibility study of ecosystem-based adaptation measures for Xiangtan (People’s Republic of China) was also discussed.
The Future of Hydrological Forecasting Read more about The Future of Hydrological Forecasting Real-time flood forecasting is one of the most effective flood risk management measures. Many governments operate bespoke hydrological forecasting services that continuously monitor and forecast coastal and fluvial water levels.
Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways and Climate Adaptation Read more about Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways and Climate Adaptation Many investments and policy decisions in water management have significant and often long-term consequences. At the same, there are investments being made that influence adaptation requirements and long-term options to adapt. Therefore, making sound near-term decisions is critical—unfortunately, we live in an increasingly unpredictable dynamic world governed by competing and changing beliefs and preferences.
