Asian delta regions increasingly facing threats from flooding, prolonged droughts, and pervasive environmental degradation. Conventional water governance often isolates ecological, technological, and societal dimensions, leading to fragmented approaches to resilience.
This 5-day program is tailored for professionals eager to tackle the complex challenges of Asian delta regions through innovative Nature-based Hi-Tech Solutions. The course integrates theory, practical tools, and delta-specific field exposure for sustainable, climate-resilient water resource management. A coverage of 5-modules reflects actual learning through practice, experiences and exposures.
Objectives:
- Understand principles and the global NbS frameworks from the standard of IUCN.
- Assess climate risks and explore how NbS can mitigate impacts of floods, and water vulnerabilities.
- Witness real-world NbS applications addressing water challenges.
- Gain experience with GIS, hydrological modeling tools, and remote sensing techniques.
- Develop strategies for stakeholder engagement and grassroots-level Climate-resilient water management project sustainability.
Event duration: 6 – 11 October 2025
Venue: AIT Green Campus, Bangkok, Thailand.
