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

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. lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/…

Intersectional approaches highlight how people experience water insecurity & how our response can be more inclusive. New blog from #CLimateAdaptationResilience BASIN project bit.ly/3xkevIs @AfricaatLSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidBurkina @GRI_LSE @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI

Water security in Africa is gender dependent

A person’s water security is affected by their gender, as is their likelihood to hold decision making positions about this vital resource

To fight inequality for a resilient future #DRRDay #UKAidWISER Early Warnings for Southern Africa is focusing on women and people with disabilities to co-produce nowcast-based early warnings in #SouthAfrica #Mozambique #Zambia tinyurl.com/2hkey6b4 #BreakTheCycle

Early Warnings for Southern Africa (EWSA)

Severe thunderstorms threaten lives and cause major damage to property and livelihoods. This especially the case in cities and urban areas in southern Africa.
