The 4th Mega-Delta Meeting: International Conference on Dialogue between Land and Sea
October 19-22, 2025, Shanghai，China
Rivers are crucial links between river basins and the sea, yet large river basins are often faced with flooding/draught, pollution, and sediment issues caused by climate change and human activities. Balancing economic development in these basins while mitigating negative impacts on the sea requires effective communication among scientists, policy makers, and practitioners from various sectors. This conference aims to bridge the gap between science and policy by facilitating such a dialogue.
Moreover, this year’s conference will continue its collaboration with the Shanghai People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries to host the “Dialogue on Great River Basins.” This year, the dialogue will focus on major rivers in Asia.
Themes
– Influence of climate change and human activities on river deltas
– Cope with challenges for different deltas
– Initiation promotion: UN convention on Conserving River Deltas (UNCCRD)
