Brownbag Climate Chat: “Integrated Flood Recovery and Resilience: Housing and Local Action in Conflict-Affected Areas”

Enjoy a casual lunch with snacks and sandwiches as we discuss critical strategies for flood recovery and resilience in conflict and post-conflict settings.

The session features Prof. Hiroto Kobayashi from Keio University, who will present on “Participatory Local Action: Nurturing Sense of Home in Disaster-Affected Areas,” focusing on the Veneer House, an adaptable shelter solution made from local materials like bamboo and wood—ideal for rapid deployment in post-flood contexts. 

Why Attend?

• Engage in discussion on integrated flood recovery strategies and resilience in high-risk, conflict-affected areas.
• Discover the Veneer House approach for sheltering flood-affected communities during emergency and transition phases.
• Connect with colleagues and partners focused on climate resilience, post-disaster housing reconstruction, and sustainable development.
