Insights and briefing notes
Short notes on warning systems, institutional capacity, municipal resilience, ecosystems and climate finance. They are thought leadership, not completed project reports.
Subjects we will keep writing about
- Community-centred early warning
- Institutional capacity for disaster preparedness
- Municipal resilience
- Ecosystem-based risk reduction
- Environmental management
- Access to climate finance
Access to climate finance for practical local programmes
Funding proposals are more useful when they start from local institutions, measurable results and a delivery plan that can be owned nationally.
Ecosystem-based approaches to reducing disaster risk
Restored catchments, wetlands and coasts can reduce hazard impact when they are paired with land-use decisions and local institutions.
Institutional capacity for disaster preparedness
Preparedness fails when it lives in a single project team rather than in the organisations that must respond every year.
Why last-mile warning is an institutional problem, not only a technical one
Alerts only reduce harm if institutions, communication protocols and communities are prepared to act on them.
