Great new film from our #partner @WalkerInst in which our #Patron @TheoSowa describes the significance of the way in which we are working - talking and listening with communities, and changing our work to meet people’s needs with the #knowledge and #data we produce and share

[Walker Institute @WalkerInst]

We're really proud to be part of @CIWEM's new, online programme #adapt4tomorrow. Our film explains why our #climateresearch is always a collaboration, led by the needs of the people that we're trying to help. It's available to watch now...

Celia Petty of @EfD_UK:
There are a lot of boulders to clear from the road, we need to look first of all at the way research is structured. There are too may pillars & siloes -with insufficient focus on data integration....
