JMSE Webinar | Floating Solutions for Addressing Climate Change Impacts on Coastal Cities
Coastal cities are at the frontline of the climate change battle. Already we have seen sea level rises submerging low-lying city areas permanently or more frequent, heavy rainfall causing flash flooding and intense cyclones resulting in costly and devastating destruction to coastal livelihoods, infrastructure and property. So how can urban areas reduce or adapt to changing climate risks? In this webinar, we have Dr Rutger de Graaf-van Dinther to talk on “Land from water: technology, design and governance of climate resilient floating urban development” and Professor Joerg Baumeister to talk on “Urban Scenarios for Sea Level Rise”.
Please do join us for a deep discussion on this topic on adapting cities for climate resilience with our two speakers. Each speaker will have 25 minutes to speak followed by a 10-min Q&A session. The chair for this webinar is Professor Chien Ming Wang from the University of Queensland, Australia.
The following experts will be present and talk:
- Professor Chien Ming Wang, School of Civil Engineering, The University of Queensland, Australia
- Dr. Rutger de Graaf-van Dinther, Blue21, The Netherlands
- Professor Joerg Baumeister, "SeaCities Lab", Cities Research Institute, Griffith University, Australia
