In this era of ever-increasing weather and climate disasters, nature-based solutions — like hybrid green-gray infrastructure — hold incredible promise as climate adaptation solutions, but accepted policies, norms, and standards are a key barrier limiting applications.
Creating the next generation of climate resilient infrastructure will require the engineering and construction industry to design and build with nature — and continue to learn by doing.
The Global Green-Gray Community of Practice cordially invites you to learn with us every month from practitioners around the world working to innovate sustainable and resilient coastal green-gray infrastructure solutions. We will alternate every session between the Asia-Pacific and Americas and hope you will join us!
