We need to focus interdisciplinary design-based research, economic means and policy on climate adaptation. Please join Pratt Institute, along with Rebuild by Design and Water as Leverage, for three consecutive panel discussions focused on design strategies and solutions for these urgent water-focused concerns on a local and global level, and how we can and must move from mitigation to adaptation.  This panel series is a Side Event to the United Nations Official Water Conference. The panels will include brief presentations from a panel of experts, as well as offer opportunities for audience participation. The day will end with a closing reception.Participants and RundownArrival/Check In 12:30pmOpening Remarks1:00pmAllison Druin Vice Provost for Research and Strategic Partnerships, Pratt InstituteQuilian Riano Acting Dean, Pratt School of ArchitectureDesigning Water With Communities 1:05pm-2:35pmLeonel Lima Ponce - ModeratorRon ShiffmanKochakorn Voraakhom Zera Kuhz + Elliott Maltby Andrea ParkerBreakDesigning Water With Science 2:45pm-4:15pmEdgar Westerhof - ModeratorStephanie JanssenRomain RecouvreurTanya McCoy CarettiInaki AldayRosetta S.
