Invitation to TERI's national conference on Climate Resilient Coastal Cities- 10 October 2014

Dear All,

As part of its 'Climate Resilient Infrastructure Services' (CRIS) Program under the larger 'Climate Change Resilient Development (CCRD)' Project, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is supporting low-lying and coastal cities in developing countries to increase the climate resilience of their infrastructure services. In India, USAID is supporting The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) under the CRIS program in helping the cities of Panaji, Goa and Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh to plan for and implement climate risk management strategies as an integral part of city development.

In order to share the outcomes and learning of this program, TERI is organising a National Conference on 'Climate Resilient Coastal Cities' on 10 October, 2014 in New Delhi. The conference intends to generate awareness and dialogue on climate change issues and resilience planning of coastal cities in developing countries. It is also intended as a platform for peer knowledge exchange and dissemination of the experiences and learning from the CRIS program as part of the larger CCRD project in India and beyond for up scaling and replication of such initiatives.

Conference Highlights:
*Release of TERI's documentary on impact of climate change on infrastructure and assets in coastal cities.
*Release of case study briefs and a working paper on TERI's year long study in Panaji and Visakahapatnam.
