Regional Training on Transdisciplinary Approaches - Water Resources Management: Climate and Socioeconomic Change Adaptation in Trans-boundary Basins
The Economy & Environment Partnership for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) from University of Economics Ho Chi Chi Minh City (UEH) is calling for your application for the regional training grants on trans-disciplinary approaches together with economics to be applied in environmental management.
WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT: CLIMATE AND SOCIOECONOMIC CHANGE ADAPTATION IN TRANS-BOUNDARY BASINS
DESCRIPTION: This 3-day workshop will strengthen participants’ knowledge on development and use of models and systems analysis approaches, to better understand current and future issues surrounding water resource management under climate change involving climate, hydrological and economic modeling tools. The workshop also involved a mixture of presentations, practical ‘hands-on’ sessions with selected models, in order to place the work in the Southeast Asian region and its specific circumstances.
RESOURCE PERSONS: International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA)
DATES: 12th, 14th, 19th October 2021, 4 hours each day. (Dates are subject to change)
VENUE: Virtual via Zoom
