#floodrisk #urbanresilience #climateadaptation How can cities prepare for a future of more frequent and severe flooding? In this discussion hosted by the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (CSEP), experts examine global evidence on what works in strengthening urban resilience and adapting to flood risk. As climate change intensifies extreme rainfall, sea-level rise, drainage stress, and infrastructure vulnerability, flooding is emerging as one of the defining challenges of urban governance. The conversation explores: • What global evidence shows about successful flood adaptation strategies • How infrastructure, land use, planning, and institutions shape resilience • Why vulnerable communities often face the highest flood risks • What cities can learn from international experiences in preparedness and recovery • How rapidly urbanising regions can build long-term climate resilience For cities across India and the world, flood resilience is no longer just about responding after disaster, it is about planning before the next shock arrives.
