Seminar River basins and deltas Water Systems and Port Economies in Times of Climate Change
On the 150th anniversary of the Nieuwe Waterweg, PBL, TNC and CAUPD are hosting a hybrid seminar on the future of river basins and deltas, 11-12 October 2022. TNC is The Nature Conservancy; CAUPD is the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design. The seminar considers the river basins and deltas of Rhine, Yangtze and Mississippi. All three play a key role in the drainage of their continents as well as in economic development. All three rivers are central transport corridors and their deltas are the territories of the largest port complexes of the world.
