Amazing news @yakisawyerr a real shinning light for the country & #freetown

[Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE @yakisawyerr]

Thank you #Freetonians! Please watch this brief video in which I once again express my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Freetonians for re-electing me as Mayor of Freetown. I also explain the decision of the APC party in respect of our current non-participation in governance. Thanks and God bless us all.

No data - no problem! Change the approach and get people to draw, a great way of quickly building up a picture of cities growth areas & risk points. A small example in #kiambu county #kenya #resilience #datamanagement #resilientcities

#listen to this excellent @BBCSounds story of a #carbonoffsetting project that has had a series of sad consequences to a village in #wales that I grew up in & farmed those very fields as a kid #climatechange https://t.co/Cbl5Ec2hTf

Visited a @WorldBank project site in Kananga and witnessed the scale of soil erosion in the city. Immediate containment measures are needed as well as sustainable nature-based solutions that support urban planning and emergency preparedness and response.

Excellent workshop with @KajiadoGov in #kenya getting the pens & plans out to build #resilience into planning systems

[Ivan Bruce @IvanBruce]

Dusting off the pens & tracing paper before heading to #kenya tomorrow to support @WBG_Cities former colleagues to support urban areas to integrate #resilience in planning systems.

[Ivan Bruce @IvanBruce]

Great session @DrAndrewSteer very intrigued how the vast amount of #amazon data can be used to provide accurate #climatedata to mitigate future risks?

[Andrew Steer @DrAndrewSteer]

A pleasure today to speak at the @WorldBank Annual Meetings on new approaches to disaster risk management.

Extreme weather events will continue to grow in intensity and impact. The traditional reactive approach will not work. We need anticipatory and preventative action.

[Ivan Bruce @IvanBruce]

Having not been in #ibadan for over 2 years was nice still to be featured in @ibadan_flood newsletter!! Hope all is going well to build #resilience in the city?

[Ivan Bruce @IvanBruce]
