US-UK Resilience Forum
The Global Center for Climate Resilience is proud to announce its second international program for professionals, the US-UK Resilience Forum, to be held Monday, September 30, through Friday, October 4, 2018 at Pembroke College at the University of Oxford. Building on the format of our US-Netherlands Connection's Professional Program (USNC Pro), the UK Resilience Forum explores Briish expertise in resilience using case studies and field experiences around flood risk management initiatives with a special focus on how resilience can be financed. Operating out of historic Oxford University's St John's College, the delegation will have a day focused on measures to mitigate River Thames flooding through engineered and natural solutions, a visit to the world-famous HR Wallingford Physical Modeling Center and a visit to the Satellite Catapult Center. A registration fee of $1950 covers lodging, most meals, in-country transportation, venue and admin costs. Airfair is not included and the responsibility of the delegate. Click here for registration.
