[PE1] Coastal and Flood Resilience Leaders Roundtable (by-invitation)

15 June 2026
9:00am – 2:00pm
Room 7 & 8, Level 4


ABOUT

 As cities and communities worldwide face rising flood risks driven by climate change, urbanisation and infrastructure constraints, the need for collaboration has never been greater. This Roundtable brings together senior leaders from cities and agencies at the forefront of coastal and flood resilience to learn from proven practices, co-create innovative solutions, and establish actionable plans toward more prepared, adaptive and resilient communities.

Effective flood resilience demands more than just hard engineering. It requires a flexible, forward-looking approach to the designing and managing of flood protection systems that can evolve alongside changing conditions, risk profiles and community needs. At the same time, infrastructure alone cannot fully protect communities from floods. Community engagement plays a central role in building a flood resilient system, serving as both a source of critical on-the-ground knowledge and a foundation for collective action and shared responsibility.

Discussions will focus on two themes:
Session 1: Planning & Designing for Tomorrow’s Flood Resilience Today
Flood infrastructure cannot be designed solely for present-day conditions, or even a projected future state. An adaptive approach to flood infrastructure planning, design and implementation involves creating flexible systems that allow for future modifications, upgrades or operational changes as conditions shift. This may also involve phased implementation of strategies that balance on development needs, resources and changing risk profiles. 

Session 2: Forging Flood Resilient Communities
Even the most sophisticated infrastructure requires community participation to achieve its full protective potential. This session will focus on building community awareness, fostering shared responsibility, and mobilising collective action, structured around three pillars:

    • Awareness: Building community awareness of individual responsibilities, recognising climate change realities and challenges from urbanisation, land scarcity, and constraints in expanding traditional drainage infrastructure.
    • Acceptance: Fostering community acceptance that flooding is inevitable and requires shared responsibility from all stakeholders.
    • Action: Empowering communities to take action to implement flood protection measures and community resilience initiatives.

[PE4] Towards a Society that Does Not Let Floods Become Disasters

15 June 2026
1:30PM – 5:30PM

Centre for Sustainable Development,

Newcastle Australia Institute of Higher Education (NAIHE)

230 Victoria Street, Bugis Junction Tower, Level 4 (04-29), Singapore 188024



ABOUT

Floods are becoming more frequent and more destructive around the world as climate change intensifies extreme weather events. For many cities—particularly across Asia—flooding has become one of the most urgent urban resilience challenges of our time. Yet floods do not have to become disasters. With the right combination of science, technology, governance, and community response, cities can significantly reduce the loss of lives, infrastructure damage, and economic disruption. 

The Smart Cities Network (SCN) is convening an international roundtable titled "Towards a Society that Does not Let Floods Become Disasters" to bring together city leaders, policymakers, researchers, and technology innovators from Singapore, ASEAN cities, and Japan. The roundtable forms part of a government-funded research initiative in Japan that aims to advance flood prediction technologies, improve information dissemination, and strengthen municipal response systems. 

The session will feature leading experts from Japan—including researchers from the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Nagoya University, and specialists from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)—who will share insights from cutting-edge research and pilot implementations. Their work focuses on improving flood prediction accuracy, extending early warning lead times, and developing data platforms that deliver timely, customized information to governments and communities.

[PE11] Financing Urban Water Playbook by WBG SWC & SEAPAW

17 June 2026

11:00AM – 12:30PM

Room 2, Level 4


ABOUT

Water security is underfinanced, especially in Southeast Asia, where utilities and subnational entities struggle to access private and domestic capital due to weak creditworthiness, regulatory gaps, and a thin pipeline of scalable, bankable projects. Investors face sector-specific risks and a lack of standardized approaches to assess and structure deals. Current efforts are fragmented and bespoke, limiting replication and market uptake. Bridging the gap between private capital and water-sector needs requires a shared understanding of viable structures, clearer pathways by creditworthiness level of utilities, and actionable guidance on risk allocation and the smart use of public finance.

The Water Finance Working Group is a collaborative platform convened by the Singapore Water Center (SWC) and Southeast Asia Partnership for Adaptation through Water (SEAPAW) with the World Bank Group and a core group of 15 financial institutions. The group has developed a framework for a Practical Playbook that provides a common context for all stakeholders to assess water projects and identify fit-for-purpose instruments for financing urban water projects.

[PE13] Financing Water-Related Climate Change Adaptation

17 June 2026

2:00PM - 3:00PM
Room 8, Level 4


ABOUT

Financing/investing in water-related adaptation has several high-potential returns, including socio-economic benefits. This workshop aims to unpack the business case for investing in water-related adaptation. Making the business case for financing water-related adaptation is premised on the evidence that water is the primary channel through which climate change impacts are felt, and at the same time, offers significant opportunities for climate change adaptation.

Water-related hazards threaten economies, communities, and ecosystems, underscoring the need for adaptation. However, water-related adaptation tends to be incremental and mostly focused on managing water-related risks, particularly in developing countries with significant adaptation needs.

Financing climate adaptation, particularly water-related adaptation, remains insufficient. The 2025 UNEP Adaptation Gap Report estimates that developing countries will require USD 310–365 billion annually by 2035, while current (2023) international public adaptation finance stands at only USD 26 billion. The New Collective Quantified Goal on climate finance (NCQG) is insufficient in meeting the adaptation finance needs of developing countries by 2035. This leaves a significant gap in mobilising finance for water-related adaptation, including those identified under the Biennial Transparency Reports.

Several structural and operational barriers, including limited revenue-generating potential, risk perception, insufficient data, a weak enabling environment, fragmented institutional mandates, and reliance on constrained public funding, constrain investments in water-related adaptation. This workshop aims to unpack the following questions:

  1. What kind of collaborations exist, and what proves to be effective in closing gaps? 
  2. What innovative financial instruments show the most promise for scaling investment in water-related climate adaptation? 
  3. What changes to policy, regulatory frameworks, and institutional capacities are critical to increase the bankability and technical innovation of water-related adaptation projects and unlock private-sector participation?

[PE25] Urban Water Resilience as an Asset Class

17 June 2026

2:00PM – 3:30PM

Room 2, Level 4


ABOUT

An RSK–ADB partner dialogue at Singapore International Water Week

Singapore International Water Week provides a global platform uniquely positioned to address shared urban water challenges. Cities across these regions are confronting rising demand, climate stress and fiscal constraints, while investing in a growing mix of solutions including non‑revenue water reduction, desalination, water reuse, digital optimisation and nature‑based solutions. Too often, these interventions are planned and financed in isolation, limiting scale and constraining access to long‑term capital.

This partner session explores how urban water resilience can be reframed as an investable asset class, grounded in system‑level performance rather than individual projects. Led by the RSK Group, with Pegasys, WRc and Nicholas O’Dwyer, and hosted with the Asian Development Bank, the dialogue examines how cities and development partners can move from fragmented investments towards integrated resilience portfolios.

Drawing on experience across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the discussion focuses on treating cities and their surrounding landscapes as the unit of investment. At this scale, NRW reduction improves basin‑wide water balances, digital systems enable credible monitoring and accountability, desalination and reuse diversify supply, and nature‑based solutions reduce flood and coastal risk while strengthening water quality and long‑term resilience.

The session will consider what is required to unlock new sources of capital, including blended finance, private investment and outcome‑based approaches, where verified performance such as reduced losses, improved reliability or risk reduction can support engagement from impact investors and other private actors. Particular attention will be paid to the roles of development banks, utilities and city governments in creating investable pipelines that align public objectives with private capital.

Aligned with SIWW’s focus on municipal water solutions, climate‑resilient cities, digitalisation, reuse, desalination and nature‑based solutions, this session offers a practical exchange on how regions facing similar pressures can move from projects to portfolios, and from ambition to durable, investable urban water resilience.

[PE24] From Data to Decisions: Scaling Digital Resilience for Coastal and Urban Systems

17 June 2026

4:00PM – 5:30PM

Room 2, Level 4


ABOUT

As climate risks intensify, cities and communities are increasingly turning to digital technologies to strengthen preparedness, inform planning, and improve response. This session explores how digital tools can support more resilient urban and coastal systems across diverse contexts.

Examining how digitisation builds resilience across all levels from national data systems to city platforms, utility operations, and small-scale implementation, the discussion draws on experiences from Indonesia, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, and Palau. At the national level, Indonesia highlights how integrated data platforms, predictive analytics, and early warning systems can strengthen risk-informed decision-making. At the city scale, Pakistan demonstrates how digital tools such as SCADA, GIS, and smart monitoring systems are embedded within urban service delivery and infrastructure planning to improve resilience in rapidly growing cities. At the utility level, Papua New Guinea presents how automation, integrated information systems, and digital governance enhance operational reliability and disaster preparedness. Finally, Palau offers insights from a small island context, illustrating how practical and scalable digital approaches can improve asset management and resilience despite constraints in capacity and resources.

Together, these perspectives show how digital solutions can move systems from a reactive response toward data-driven resilience across all scales.

[PE15] The Netherlands and Southeast Asia: (Re)thinking Nature Based Solutions

17 June 2026

4:00pm – 6:00pm
Cassia Jr. 3211-3212, Level 3


ABOUT

Climate adaptation can no longer wait. South East Asia is on the frontline of climate change, facing rising sea levels that threaten low lying communities, more intense rainfall causing widespread flooding, prolonged droughts impacting food security, and an accelerating loss of biodiversity.

Nature Based Solutions (NBS) are often championed as a silver bullet for these interconnected challenges. While there are powerful examples where NBS deliver real and lasting benefits, experience shows that they work best when embedded in broader, integrated adaptation strategies. When applied in isolation, expectations can be misaligned—risking disappointment and undermining confidence in nature’s critical role in climate resilience.

This interactive workshop offers a fresh perspective on NBS—moving beyond slogans toward practical, scalable implementation. Participants will explore how NBS can effectively complement engineered solutions and support robust, multi layered climate adaptation approaches.

A key highlight is the Giant Sea Wall project in Demak, Indonesia, presented as a case study demonstrating how NBS can help shift the narrative while providing real protection for vulnerable communities. The session features an expert panel sharing best practices and lessons learned, followed by dynamic, game based breakout discussions. Delegates from the ASEAN 4 and the Philippines will bring their own case studies, engaging directly with experts from the Dutch Water House and invited guests to exchange insights, challenges, and solutions.
