Coastal and Flood Resilience Cities Roundtable (By-invitation)
Coastal and Flood Resilience Cities Roundtable (By-invitation)
18 June 2024
12:30pm - 5:30pm
Room 10, Level 3
About
Only for senior officials from cities and coastal and flood regulatory authorities.
Complex climate shifts are having profound impacts on cities, with more frequent and intense flooding and storm surges, increasing episodes of droughts, and threats of sea-level rise to coastline developments. Against this backdrop, we will be convening the inaugural Coastal and Flood Resilience Cities Roundtable for senior city officials and regulatory authorities. Designed as a closed-door event without the presence of industry, the Roundtable provides a platform for frank and open exchange of experiences amongst peers on how cities can adapt to increasing coastal and inland flood risks arising from climate change. The Roundtable Plenaries are moderated by Prof. Khoo Teng Chye, Practice Professor, NUS College of Design and Engineering.
