Join us Friday at 3pm CAT to hear Declan Conway @GRI_LSE present the rationale for the #CLimateAdaptationREsilience BASIN project in a seminar at University of Malawi @unima_official @IDRC_CRDI @FCDOResearch

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

Ongoing drought an opportunity to push for food systems transformation in #Zambia-blog by Willem Colenbrander for @fosta_health #foodsystems #onehealth fosta-health.eu/index.php/blog…

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 bit.ly/3ULEdNP

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/granthaminstit…

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

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

This week the #CLimateAdaptationREsilience team met in Arusha @GRI_LSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidTZ @WaterAidUK @WaterAidBurkina @water_witness @KulimaIDS @NM_AIST @wisefuturestz @ShahidiWaMaji @unima_official @UNUINWEH @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI 1/3

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

#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 bit.ly/3xkevIs @AfricaatLSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidBurkina @GRI_LSE @KulimaIDS @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI

How does #gender affect how #waterresources are used, by whom, and where? New blog from the #CLimateAdaptationResilience BASIN project blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/20… @AfricaatLSE @WaterAidCanada @WaterAidBurkina @GRI_LSE @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI

In Southern #Malawi, Pigeon Pea is a key source of fodder, fuel, and income for #women. More in this blogpost about our research plans examining that: tinyurl.com/3hbp9szb Counting down to #WorldPulsesDay on Feb 10. #LovePulses

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

CLARE BASIN project will tackle water security by understanding behaviour around extreme events & motivating change at institutional level in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia #CLimateAdaptationREsilience clareprogramme.org lse.ac.uk/granthaminstit… (5/7)

Can we use behavioural & psychological insights to optimise use of #climateinformation in #adaptation? #CLimateAdaptationREsilience BASIN will investigate in #BurkinaFaso #Malawi #Tanzania @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI @UKinTanzania @UKinMalawi clareprogamme.org

How can behavioural &psychological science inform how behaviours influence effectiveness of technological water mgmnt solutions, such as dams? #CLimateAdaptationREsilience BASIN will investigate in #BurkinaFaso #Malawi #Tanzania @FCDOResearch @IDRC_CRDI @UKinTanzania @UKinMalawi

Why are some people reluctant to act on flood early warnings and evacuate when homes are at risk? #CLimateAdaptationREsilience BASIN will investigate the reasons and motivations to support extent to which nudges need to reflect social & cultural norms clareprogramme.org
