Observing Resilience: Coastal South Asia

Due to accelerating climate emergency, the coastal region of South Asia will face unprecedented loss and damage not just in the coming century but in the coming decades. When observed differently, the loss and damage offer opportunities for transformative resistance building. To underline these opportunities to the South Asia participants of COP 28 UAE and beyond, HOISA is hosting a roundtable on coastal risk assessment, preparedness, community mobilising, and capability building to observe the coastal loss and damage differently and thereby suggest opportunities for transformative resilience building in the region.
