Episode 2: Climate Science in Action: Translating Data into Decisions

We are proud to share the release of ‘Addressing Climate Risk in Coastal Urban Areas of East and Southeast Asia – Connecting Climate Science, Engineering and Finance’, authored by Bruce Chong, our Arup Fellow and APAC Sustainability and ESG Leader, and a team of outstanding experts across the region. This book brings together collective wisdom to tackle the escalating climate risks facing some of the vulnerable coastal cities across this region — from Shanghai, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Manila, to Jakarta. It offers a powerful interdisciplinary framework that bridges science, engineering, and finance, supported by real-world case studies and actionable strategies. While rooted in East and Southeast Asia, the insights are globally relevant and adaptable to other coastal cities facing similar challenges. ---- In this second video, we explore the importance of selecting appropriate Global Climate Models (GCMs) and applying robust downscaling application to improve the accuracy and reliability of local projections. A standout feature is the practical statistical-dynamical approach for full-track tropical cyclone modelling. This method provides a comprehensive view of cyclone evolution in the Northwest Pacific and sheds light on future wind-speed projections and their geographic variations. Specific thanks to our advisor Professor Johnny Chan, Science Director of Asia-Pacific Typhoon Collaboration Research Center, for his insights. ---- LinkedIn post: https://bit.ly/3OtAl4B Order the book now: https://bookstore.emerald.com/address...
