From ocean to zip code in a changing climate
The safety of population and urban assets along the rising seas are strained under forces of a changing climate. Nowadays, urban development demands a far wider set of disciplines to address sustainability in an integrated framework. The state of science and technology provides the means of adaptation, but
What more does it take to translate the state-of-the-art scientific advancement to the safety and prosperity of citizens in this ever-changing context?
Professionals, scientists, decision makers and urban developers were invited to join this event on to learn from latest developments of the water sector in climate adaptation, and exchange ideas with a panel of leading experts and policy makers.
The symposium was organised by Deltares, Tembusu and NUSDeltares.
