Sasank Vemuri is an urban development specialist living in Manila, the sprawling capital of the Philippines. Working for the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as part of the team managing the Urban Climate Change Resilience Trust Fund (UCCRTF), Sasank knows a lot about financing climate resilience projects in urban areas.
Sasank's experience working in peri-urban areas has also shown him that climate risks that affect cities can originate many miles away in upland valleys and hills. In our latest Conversation on Climate Change Adaptation we speak with Sasank who explains that as climate risks are not confined to the city limits, solutions designed tackle them must not be either.
