Research Study on Climate Change Adaptation of Human Settlements
NBRO has initiated a joint collaboration with the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment (VIEE) which is an affiliated institute of the Vanderbilt University USA on a research study on climate change adaptation of human settlements. Main reason for the collaboration is to share the knowledge and resources in two different scenarios. Human Settlements Division (HSD) of NBRO is one of the unique technical divisions having the capacity for handling human settlement planning related research in the country. Also, the research capacities of the Building Materials, Landslide Services and Studies, Environmental, Structural Engineering & Project Management and Geotechnical Engineering divisions will be an added strength in enhancing this multidisciplinary research study. This is one good example of having multidisciplinary capacities in one agency especially for research work required by interdisciplinary studies such as human settlements adaptation to climate change.
