Climate Change
Background
​​
Climate risks across Southeast Asia are becoming more frequent, intense, and complex, with flooding, extreme rainfall, and heat stress increasingly disrupting cities, infrastructure, livelihoods, and public services. Although climate data and modelling tools are more accessible than ever, many institutions still face challenges in interpreting and applying this information effectively for planning, early warning, and adaptation decision-making.
Goal and Objectives
This two-hour interactive technical webinar aims to strengthen applied understanding of climate risk and adaptation through live demonstrations of four complementary digital tools: FloodS, ClimoCast, DioVista, and the Japan Adaptation Monitoring and Evaluation System (JAMES). These tools support key stages of the adaptation cycle, from local flood hazard analysis and climate projection assessment to monitoring and learning from adaptation actions over time.
Target Audience
​​
Designed for government officials, city planners, engineers, disaster risk management practitioners, and researchers, the webinar will showcase practical, real-world applications of these tools across Southeast Asia. Participants will learn how climate projections can inform flood scenarios, how risk information can support preparedness and investment decisions, and how adaptation actions can be monitored and improved systematically.
By the end of the webinar, participants are expected to gain stronger technical confidence in using digital tools to translate climate data into actionable adaptation outcomes, strengthen decision-making for early warning and resilience planning, and identify opportunities to integrate these approaches into national and subnational adaptation initiatives.
