An integrated approach from biophysical to socioeconomic impact assessment for developing sustainable adaptation pathways in deltas

A comprehensive biophysical systems understanding of a delta from its source to its sink is a key primary step to develop sustainable adaptation pathways in deltas. This session aims to bridge the complex variabilities of the biophysical deltaic system to the livelihood of the population they serve, through relevant quantifiable socioeconomic assessments. We would like to discuss the cases of three prominent Ganges Brahmaputra Meghna (GBM), Mekong and the Nile mega-deltas, and find synergies and exchange lessons learned in adaptation planning.
