[MUI @MUI_research]

5/5 fortunately this project has been followed up with #Upscaling Resilience and expanded into Sao Paulo. This is funded through the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) made available by the British Academy’s Cities and Infrastructure programme ( https://t.co/NefnyaNoMd )

Today we had a great experience knowing more about Tonantzintla at the Cimate-smart Community workshops in Puebla. We are learning so much about Mexican people 🌎 #ClimateChange #ClimateSmart #Communities #Mexico #UK @NewtonFund @MUI_research #ClimateSmartResilienceCommunity

Community Hazard mapping in Central America and the eruption of Fuego Volcano in Guatemala with @michigantech and @EdinburghUni presented by @ameliabain

[MUI @MUI_research]

The three neighbourhoods we worked with are all located within the perimeter of urban and rural land. These are informal settlements where self-building is the norm and exposure to risk from landslides is very high

[MUI @MUI_research]

The afternoon continues with Liz Holcombe from @BristolUni who discusses her legendary project called MOSSAIC which sers an important precedent in how to manage slope stability in communities.

Emma Morales from Universidad Iberoamericana Puebla in Mexico presents the limitations and Challenges Local Government are facing to plan for Risk and Adaptation funded by @NewtonFund

[MUI @MUI_research]

A new hub in University of Edinburgh called “Multi-Hazard Urban Disaster Risk Transition Hub” is working in a community of learning across & within Nairibo-Istanbul-Khatmandu-Quito to co-produce ways of reducing risks for poor people in urban areas @EdinburghUni #resilience

Conversatorio con el Profesor Luis Fernando González. "Pedro Nel Gómez Ideas para una ciudad que también se llamaba Medellín" 27 marzo - 6 pm.

[MUI @MUI_research]

Climate change is leading to a greater number of landslides posing risks for informal settlements living on hazardous terrain. Here investigators @harrycsmith1 Gabriela Medero and @sgferrar present the Lessons Learned in this project funded by @BritishAcademy_

[MUI @MUI_research]

Alex Abiko from @usponline presents the internationalisation of our project which took place in vila Nova Esperança in São Paulo. We have been testing to what extent our pilot project in Medellín can be applied in a different (international) context.

[MUI @MUI_research]

A key lesson of working w/ vulnerable communities is that any risk monitoring needs to be a participatory excercise so residents learn to ‘read’ their terrain. By comparing this with the way they read boiling milk in a pot, they understand the nuances of landslide-risk signals.
