Coastal & Flood Resilience at SIWW2026

Urbanisation, rapid economic growth, and intensifying extreme weather events have resulted in more frequent flooding and unsustainable freshwater extraction. To tackle these challenges, innovative and integrated solutions are crucial for building climate-resilient cities.

SIWW2026 will bring together governments, cities, and regulators under the "Coastal & Flood Resilience" pillar to address key topics:

Blue-green infrastructure

Community resilience

Disaster recovery

Flood risk assessment

Flood mitigation operations

Financing

Multi-functional adaptive land use planning

Nature-based solutions.
