Roadmaps towards climate change adaptation

  – 

The world is changing, becoming increasingly complex. Climate change is the environmental problem of the 21st century contributing to the complexity, and introducing unpredictable changes with potentially harmful consequences to growing urban settings. Following the case session “Resilient Regions and Climate Change adaptation” (Wednesday, 1 November 2017, 11:00-12:30), case study representatives will be taken into […]

Case session: Resilient Regions and Climate Change adaptation

  – 

Various regions worldwide face severe social, economic and environmental impacts due to climate change events. This case session focuses on Europe, the Caribbean and Asia with examples of cases on how to develop adaptive, sociotechnical measures and strategies to cope with these climate change events. Solutions are being incorporated in the session to indicate other […]

Responding to risks of extreme events to advance climate change adaptation

  – 

The EC funded PEARL project demonstrates solutions to government’s and water practitioners on adaptive risk management measures for coastal cities against extreme hydro-meteorological events (with the focus on floods and storm surges). In this event the science behind the PEARL framework and its application in case study cities across Europe, Asia and the Caribbean will be presented. […]

Symposium on Climate Change Impacts and Adaption Strategies in Coastal Communities

  – 

Climate change is known to impact coastal areas in a variety of ways. According to the 5th Assessment Report produced by the Inter- Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), coastal zones are highly vulnerable to climate change and climate-driven impacts may be further exacerbated by other human-induced pressures. Apart from sea level rise which poses […]

WSSP Extreme Weather Conference

  – 

Floods, droughts and heavy precipitation, together known as extreme weather events, are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change. Between 1998 and 2007, in Europe alone, these events caused approximately € 13.7 billion in terms of economic losses, which were largely uninsured. Over the same period the European Environment Agency reported that the average […]
