PUB's Coastal Protection and Flood Management Research Programme (CFRP) consists of four research verticals to develop innovative, sustainable and smart solutions tailored for Singapore’s urban and land-squeezed environment — a challenge that many other coastal cities also face.
The verticals will be supported by three cross-cutting research horizontals:
- Advance coastal science research to deepen understanding of extremities and changes in coastal processes affected by climate change;
- Enhance capabilities in monitoring, prediction, and digitalisation of Singapore’s coastal environment;
- Develop an effective framework to support integrated and adaptive planning, to strengthen risk management and decision-making processes when prioritising investments made in coastal and flood protection infrastructure.
