🌟Join us the 11th of November for a webinar around “Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Defence & Food Security in Southeast Asia” Southeast Asia’s coastal zones face increasing risks from sea-level rise, land subsidence, and extreme weather events. While conventional infrastructure offers protection, it often comes at the cost of ecosystem degradation and reduced food system resilience.
On the 11th of November 8-9 GMT0, NL2120 and EcoShape, brings together leading experts from Haskoning, IUCN/IUCN NL, Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and Wetlands International in a webinar to explore how Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) can offer integrated, adaptive approaches to coastal protection and food security.
Key Themes:
- Field-tested insights from the award-winning Building with Nature Indonesia project
- Hybrid engineering approaches that combine infrastructure with ecological restoration
- Enabling conditions for scaling Nature-based Solutions — governance, policy, and financing
- Opportunities for regional collaboration and innovation
Featured Speakers:
- Apri Astra, Wetlands International — Community-led mangrove restoration in Demak
- Reinier (R.W.) Nauta, WUR — Integrating aquaculture and NBS for resilient food systems
- Navisa Nurbandika, Haskoning — Designing scalable NBS for coastal defence
- Moderators: Heleen Van Den Hombergh (IUCN-NL) & Elise Allély-Fermé (Wetlands International)
