Exciting day-#WISEREWSA starts its "kingsize" (season-long) testbed for nowcasts of thunderstorms. Our fantastic community teams in 3 countries are on hand to provide feedback so we co-produce the final weather service. Hoping this helps to reduce risk in urban areas #UKAidWISER

This week the #WISEREWSA team is in #Mozambique for a whole project meeting, engagement day with nowcasting and early warning stakeholders, and planning for the next testbed #UKAidWISER @katharine_v https://t.co/QJT8H4yIC1

Behavioural change techniques could unfairly place responsibility for water security on individuals, rather than on systemic factors say @_KateGannon and Will Ingram in our latest commentary for the BASIN project. https://t.co/JLRFjsY5yG

[Kulima IDS @kulimaids.bsky.social @KulimaIDS]

Key emerging themes to explore include drivers of behaviour and change at both institutional and local level, factors influencing decisions around climate information and water management, and the role of champions 3/3

[Kulima IDS @kulimaids.bsky.social @KulimaIDS]

The meeting involved discussion of practice-informed research questions around behaviour change in climate and water that have been co-developed within the team over the past year 2/3

Intersectional approaches highlight how people experience water insecurity & how our response can be more inclusive. New blog from #CLimateAdaptationResilience BASIN project https://t.co/VDLFU61dZG @AfricaatLSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidBurkina @GRI_LSE @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI

#ElNino disrupts water supply across Africa. How people experience this depends on who they are, where they are, and what power (or not) they hold in decision making https://t.co/VDLFU61dZG @AfricaatLSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidBurkina @GRI_LSE @KulimaIDS @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI
