A round-table conference on the challenges of flood risk management in urban areas of river deltas in South and South East Asia will be organized on 6 - 7 November in Bangkok, Thailand.

Organized jointly by Asian Disaster Preparedness Center and Wilton Park, and with support from the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the conference will act as a forum for sharing the knowledge, good practices, and experiences on building the resilience of delta regions in Asia to floods and other hydro-meteorological disaster events.

The conference is organized to engage a wider range of stakeholder groups working on urban development, physical and economic policy planning, agriculture, disaster risk reduction, and climate risk management at sub-regional, national and sub-national level of deltaic regions in South and South East Asia. Experts from other deltaic regions including outside Asia will be invited to discuss and share their good practices and identify strategies for risk minimization.
