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 possible contributions. This session is being led by the PEARL consortium.

Flood risk assessment in cultural heritage in Ayutthaya, Thailand
Flood risk assessment (FRA) combined quantitative and qualitative aspects was developed and applied. The hazard was assessed using a coupled 1D-2D flood model, and the resulting multi vulnerability and risk were mapped. The analysis of traditional approach and risk perception revealed that FRA can be used effectively in gaining insights of the phenomena and planning.

Solution: Spatially integrated and socially accepted flood defences, designed by stakeholder engagement
Sharing experiences and knowledge between two cases, namely Gorinchem-Waardenburg(Netherlands), and Sheffield(England), indicated two elements of mutual interest, where the two countries can learn from eachother. This might induce new strategies to enhance the public support for flood risk management, where the challenge is to create added value while redesigning flood defences.
