Tune in for the launch of the RISE - Asian Development Bank (ADB) Knowledge Products series.

RISE utilises a water-sensitive cities (WSC) approach, including nature-based solutions, to deliver urban services, improve city functioning and liveability, strengthen ecosystem servicing, and transform urban health and wellbeing.

Join us to learn more about the rationale for this approach, and how it can complement conventional grey infrastructure approaches. Learn about the key principles of community co-design and the technical components of a WSC approach, and how this can come together with the ambition to deliver on the SDGs in an integrated and transformational way, and ensure no one is left behind.
