India, Bangladesh and Nepal are amongst the countries most threatened by climate change. The dense urban populations are particularly susceptible, with the most vulnerable living in informal settlements. This translates to 190 million people in South Asia. This session presents the working model and evaluation findings of an action research project to build local coping mechanisms and adaptation technologies for climate-resilience capacities of urban poor living in 100 informal settlements in seven cities in South Asia.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cem\u003EProgram starts promptly at 7:30.\u003C\/em\u003E \u003Cem\u003EServing breakfast and coffee.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIt will take place at:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCenter for Quality Growth and Regional Development\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n760 Spring Street, Room 235 | Atlanta, GA 30308\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/cqgrd.gatech.edu\/contact-us\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EClick here for directions.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001LdtbluyVsUzwTXibk9_ai3AFlpgzrCHbw0rv-1lEPLreUGixyopFX91wELuVmUa2eT_Kai-DL3dihuI_lqqtV_uyDI06yrLdpi0MYWgoKo2dis5vjjzpJZNKDZyymnAVhHhohObi-ZtSXhbBsncSGuQU9uJ-zLPh2X3ZGlDq1tqWx8u7_RgzS17lmT9q0EXlyMZarOOdXpPaJRAhQappAW3P95e0X0RN0WeJRQWwuP1vnCHdhgrrw_94SLIQe57kxv-0zlH9f7IeiaKE7M6w18QK-Rnrj5O27icPx0cbgXP1nlJqGGbxhA==\u0026amp;c=qTbdE-MhRFodEM8nz6fVK8Pcg3t8k75YHDeoV-y4as5L_8uVmxrTTw==\u0026amp;ch=hnHsM89Yr4MsLkK5IKpI_V3Pmtn4GuWncyd16Z_eI-UXc4uSuszAlA==\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ERSVP here\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe Healthy Places Research Group (HPRG), formed in 2003,\u0026nbsp;is a collaborative effort of individuals interested in exploring the relationship between health and the built environment.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nJoin us monthly from September to May to discuss issues, exchange information, and hear presentations pertaining to health policy, impacts, and the built environment.
