Southeast Asia Climate Adaptation Research

Picture
Climate change poses an existential threat to many cities and communities around Southeast Asia. With increasing global temperatures, growing frequency of storm surges and rising sea levels, there is an urgent need to implement adaptation measures, particularly in coastal areas.​

Quantedge Advancement Initiative is supporting the Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions (CNCS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) to research into the opportunities and constraints of green and green-grey infrastructure  for climate mitigation and adaptation in the Southeast Asian region.  The research aims to develop:
  1. A decision-making framework to maximise the potential of both green and green-grey infrastructure for climate mitigation and adaptation.
  2. A set of recommendations for appropriate green and green-grey infrastructure management practices.
 
Factoring in different climate threats facing the region, CNCS will generate valuable insights and develop tools to enable policymakers and organisations to make informed decisions on when and how nature-based adaptation measures are important in mitigating climate threats.
Picture
A systematic review is underway to understand the benefits of existing green and green-grey infrastructure options. Concurrently, relevant geospatial data resources are being identified and collated to develop maps of potential areas for the deployment of green and green-grey infrastructure across Southeast Asia. 

​Through supporting this research project, Quantedge Advancement Initiative seeks to catalyse change by building up the knowledge in the field of green infrastructure and coastal protection in Southeast Asia, thereby increasing the adoption of cost-effective, environmentally and socially sustainable nature-based solutions.
