Understanding Climate Adaptation: Potential of Locally Led Visual Methods

HOISA invites you for a panel discussion to improve our understanding of local climate adaptations by observing differently. Most observations are data driven or text dominated, but perhaps visual methods may open a new direction to avoid losses and damage in South Asia.

The invited researchers and actors will discuss how affected communities are adapting to extreme weather risks, what are the risks with locally led maladaptations, and how can visual among other methodologies help us observe and adapt sustainably?

Driving this discussion forward will be Hyeonggeun Ji and Rawnak Jahan Khan Ranon (Researchers who wrote this critical article), in conversation with Niti Mishra (Assistant Professor at TISS India), Juan Ricardo Aparicio Cuervo (Humanitarian Observatory of Latin America & the Caribbean) and Agrippina Nandjaa (Humanitarian Observatory of Namibia - Caritas).
