Hard to tell, but this is the floodplain of the Red River in Hanoi, pop 7.5 mil, where they leave room for the river to flood #livingwithwater

But scenarios won't be used to ask for rate increases to build assets

[ResilienceWire @ResilienceWire]

Scenario-based modeling is a fundamental shift in the way Melbourne does planning. But it built an understanding of future challenges. Communication and visualization helped others understand. #WEFTEC18

[ResilienceWire @ResilienceWire]

Melbourne moved from deterministic to scenario based planning based on how U.K. and Netherlands plan

[ResilienceWire @ResilienceWire]

But costs of adaptation are uncertain.

This is pretty cool. Like in renewable energy, businesses are leading the way.

Powerful statement

[Henk Ovink @henkovink]

Time for a #newdeal to invest in the future. Stop ignoring climate change & looking the other way, time to face it, act & invest: mitigate & adapt in an inclusive, comprehensive & innovative way. This is the future, our best chance for change with added value for all! @60Minutes
