Invitation to Water Dialogues: Brazilian and Dutch Cities Co-learning in a Changing Climate on Thursday 26 September 2024, 2.30-4.30pm, in EOS 1.630.
We are pleased to invite you to join the Water Dialogues: Brazilian and Dutch Cities Co-learning in a Changing Climate, an engaging dialogue and exchange of ideas between representatives from the National Front of Brazilian Mayors (FNP) and scholars from Radboud University. Facilitated by the Radboud Centre for Sustainability Challenges and the TransAct, this event aims to foster knowledge-sharing and collaboration on water management and climate adaptation strategies.
Roundtable Participants:
Gilberto Perre, Secretary of the National Front of Mayors,
Hans Brouwer, Manager/Strategic Advisor Rijkswaterstaat : Water Management in The Netherlands: Room for the River and Beyond,
Maarten van Ginkel, Senior Advisor Gemeente Nijmegen,
Professor Dr. Sander Meijerink : Multi-level Flood Risk Governance in the Netherlands,
Dr. Corinne Vitale : Water as Leverage (WaL): A Practical Approach for Achieving Global Water Resilience,
Professor Dr. Erwin van der Krabben : Land-based Finance for Climate Adaptation: Private Developers’ Willingness to Contribute.
This dialogue is part of the FNP Netherlands Mission (September 22-28, 2024), which focuses on exploring best practices in water management and disaster risk reduction across Dutch cities (Delft, Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, and Nijmegen). The FNP, representing over 415 large and medium-sized Brazilian cities, leads this mission in collaboration with urban planning secretaries, federal government representatives, and key stakeholders. These visits will highlight Dutch solutions and strategies that could inform and inspire Brazilian practices.
Join us in this collaborative dialogue to explore how cities can better manage water and adapt to the challenges posed by a changing climate.
