The following thematic areas will frame the Indaba discussions:

a. A Regulatory and Policy Environment that supports Just Transition

b. Increased Knowledge, skills, and Capacity to Plan, Design, and Deliver a Resilient Built Environment

c. Improve Community Resilience to Climate Change and Disaster Management Capacity

It is against this background that we invite you to attend and cover this topical engagement.
