In this international student competition inspired by the vision for the Netherlands in 2120, multidisciplinary teams of students visualize the potential of nature-based solutions to respond to the effects of climate change and biodiversity loss in river deltas around the world. This first edition runs from November 2023 to June 2024 and is focused on the challenges faced in the Bengal Delta in Bangladesh.

Based on soil and water data, and interviews with stakeholders, student teams will create a vision for Bangladesh in 2100 and present it in the form of adaptive spatial planning maps and illustrative renderings. The results of the Challenge will provide inspiration and transformative pathways for decision-makers and a hopeful perspective for future generations.

The Challenge is open to any current BSc, MSc, PhD students and fresh graduates worldwide. Relevant study backgrounds include, amongst other, Landscape architecture, Spatial planning, Forestry, (Organic) Agriculture, Nature Conservation, Environmental Sciences, Land, Water, Urban and Marine Resources Management.
