On 23 October 2025, the TRANSCEND team, led by Prof. Matthias Garschagen, held its final workshop in Jakarta. At the venue of the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the TRANSCEND team welcomed 34 participants from civil society, academia, and government agencies to a one-day workshop to present and discuss research results on local vulnerability scenarios, urban growth trajectories, and local views on flood risk and adaptation.

The TRANSCEND project was well-represented at this year’s Adaptation Futures conference in Christchurch (New Zealand), 13-16 October 2025. At Adaptation Futures, leading scholars and practitioners from across the world working on various topics related to climate change adaptation come together with the shared goal of promoting accelerated and sustainable adaptation. For the TRANSCEND team, Prof. Matthias Garschagen, Dr. Deepal Doshi, and Dr. Jan Petzold presented research on urban adaptation finance as well as challenges for inclusive flood risk reduction in coastal megacities.
