The book highlights key findings, including added uncertainty in water availability, increased vulnerability due to overlooked socio-economic systems, the rigidity of urban infrastructure (like wastewater systems), and heightened risk from delayed cyclone landfalls. In addition to addressing these gaps, this book also explores options such as soft, nature-based solutions and decentralized urban systems in densely populated and highly vulnerable populations in the local context. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-IN\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-IN;\"\u003eBy highlighting critical knowledge gaps, the volume offers comprehensive, research-backed approaches to effectively address uncertainty.
