ADPC’s Young Professional Platform - Interns Talk 11th Session: Blue-Green Infrastructure for Disaster and Climate Resilience in urban settings

Interns Talk: ADPC's Young Professional Platform

This is the 11th episode of the series. 

Topic - Blue-Green Infrastructure for Disaster and Climate Resilience in urban settings. 

Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in urban settings traditionally relies on the use of what is commonly known as ‘grey’, ‘hard’ or ‘physical’ infrastructures. While these measures remain necessary for effective climate and risk mitigation, they often overlook other critical dimensions needed to build genuine urban resilience. 
This webinar explores how Blue-Green Infrastructure can strengthen risk reduction and climate adaptation strategies in urban planning. To do so it will examine how Blue-Green Infrastructures complements grey infrastructure by integrating natural and semi-natural systems such as green spaces and water bodies.
