Moi University: Fostering Nature-Aligned-Engineering-Practices in Coastal-Infrastructure Development: Data and Skills Needs Assessment
Lloyd's Register Foundation awarded a grant of GBP 9,993 to Moi University for work in Kenya, dated 27 January 2025.
Overview
Approximately 50% of global population is expected to live in coastal cities by 2050. This will steer rapid expansion of coastal infrastructure to accommodate increased socio-economic activities especially at the ports. The infrastructure expansion will exert pressure on limited land, materials and energy resources, posing safety and sustainability risks to the people and the environment. This project aims to identify critical skills, data, and tools needed to foster adoption, scale-up and mainstreaming of nature-aligned (NA) engineering approaches in design, construction and management of coastal infrastructure projects, towards enhancing safety, sustainability and resilience to climate change and urbanization processes
