Southeast Asia Climate Adaptation Research by
​NUS Centre for Nature-based Climate Solutions

Picture
​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 infrastructure compared to conventional grey infrastructure for climate mitigation and adaptation. 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.
 
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 where nature-based adaptation measures may be better suited than seawalls and other types of coastal defences, and where they may not be.
Picture
​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.
