EP 2.4 Flood Risk Management w/ Kartiki and Sahil (Part 1)

Hello everyone - Namaste!

*Please listen to EP 2.3 Pakistan Floods before listening to this episode*

Cities worldwide are witnessing an increase in the frequency, intensity, and impact of flooding. This increase can be attributed to climate change, sea level rise, changing weather patterns, rapid urbanization and a combination of these factors. Climate Change Adaptation strategies today must be prioritized to mitigate the effects of such extreme flooding events to increase resilience. Though a relatively new term (not a concept?), nature-based solutions (NbS) are gradually being introduced and integrated into flood risk management. In the first part of Episode 4, we speak with World Resources Institute (WRI) India's Kartiki Naik (Program Manager with the Urban Development team under the Sustainable Cities and Transport program) and Sahil Kanekar (Senior Program Associate with the Urban Development team under the Sustainable Cities and Transport program). We explore ideas around flood defense, community resilience, NbS, and the gap in the NbS literature in the Global North and the Global South.
