Registration, refreshments and networking time

Welcoming speeches and introduction to the topic of the day: 'Designing Adaptation as a co-benefit with Mitigation efforts'.

In this session, find out what happened at COP30 the day before, and learn about the challenges and key objectives at COP on sustainable cities and adaptation.

How might collective imagination become planetary repair? This intimate session explores creativity amid ecological crisis, drawing from "IMAGINE", a global anthology of artists, designers, and systems thinkers. Through guided provocations and conversation, participants explore how imagination engages uncertainty, what emerges when we sense collectively into possibilities.

More details to be announced soon.

With decades of expertise in managing Climate Risk globally, Howden will lay out in this masterclass methodologies to assess your Climate Risk vulnerabilities and develop contingency plans to enhance resilience.

This masterclass introduces participants to the use of strategic foresight in climate adaptation planning. Through real-world case studies and frameworks such as Scenario Mapping, the Futures Triangle, and the 3 Horizons, it demonstrates how foresight can be applied for resilience and risk management.

The talk will explore how Alstom's cutting-edge technologies are shaping urban transport landscape. Discover their contributions to Singapore's Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040), enabling seamless and efficient journeys for all. This session will develophow Mobility contributes to making tomorrow's cities sustainable and disaster-proof.

With their 80 years of existence, Ramboll contributed to making global cities modern and adapted to our changing climate. In this talk, Ramboll will share their holistic approach uses water & natures as core elements to reimagine urban spaces. The talk will highlight innovative solutions like "blue-green infrastructure" which mitigate flood risk and enhance biodiversity.

Thanks to Singapore's National Water Agency, explore our nation's strategy for coastal resilience. As a low-lying island, Singapore is highly vulnerable to rising sea levels and coastal flooding. This talk will cover Singapore's multi-pronged approach, which includes both hard engineering solutions and nature-based enhancements. Learn about their long-term, site-specific studies and upcoming legislation to protect over 80% of the coastline, as the Singapore resilience plan aims at.

In this session, discover how Singapore and Southeast Asia’s food security are intertwined, and examine ways to achieve food resilience. It will examine current food insecurity levels, challenges to the agri-food supply chain and solutions.

In this talk, explore the impacts of the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, and discover how Singapore's work provides a global model for creating more liveable and sustainable urban environments. The talk will focus on Cooling Singapore projects uses modelling tools, field measurements to develop solutions and the potential of nature-based solutions, such as urban vegetation, to build climate resilience.

This panel will explore how urban planning is shifting from a traditional "grey" model to one that integrates nature as a core solution. We will discuss the transformative potential of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as green roofs, urban forests, and permeable surfaces. The session will highlight how these solutions not only enhance urban resilience to climate impacts but also improve human health and well-being.

Understand the drivers of disclosure requirements. How climate risk exposure due diligence unveils significant risks for business and supports their resilience in the face of new physical reality.

In this AdACC (Adaptation to Climate Change) workshop, discover the IPCC's methodology to strategise adaptation and develop your own climate resilience plans for Singapore key assets: Warehouse in Tuas, Factory in Queenstown and the Changi area.

This interactive session will foster creative thinking about solutions to the challenges we’ll face in a warmer world. It will include:
1. Expert talks about the hazards we’re likely to face and some solutions (engineering and nature-based) being explored to keep us safe and healthy, and
2. A speculative design workshop that will invite the participants to propose and actively design innovative and localised solutions, in the form of postcards from the future.

This closed-door panel explores how grassroots groups in informal settlements drive real solutions. Learn how to empower communities as change agents, ensure transparent funding, and bridge the gap between national policy and local action for a more equitable, resilient future.

Explore how every company is exposed to climate risk, the financial risks associated and what is expected from companies to mitigate, adapt to them and disclose the information to their investors. From simple risk matrix to scenario analysis you will learn how to integrate climate considerations into strategic decisions to build a resilient organisation.

This dialogue will explore the critical intersection of climate change and public health, with a focus on human resilience to extreme heat. Experts will share research on developing forward-looking solutions to boost human resilience. The discussion will cover how heat affects productivity and well-being, particularly for vulnerable populations.

Registration, buffet dinner and networking time

This evening panel will address the most pressing question of all for resilience and adaptation strategies: funding! Thanks to our experts, you will gain an understanding of the mechanisms, trends and challenges we are facing in our quest to secure funding for a resilient world.
