Women Led Climate Change Adaptation
Extreme heat disproportionately affects urban low-income families. Cities are hotter than the countryside, and slums are hotter than other parts of cities. The project demonstrated how women can mobilize, understand weather risks and lead frugal interventions such as cool roofs and street shading that are easily adopted, making their spaces safer from heat-related risks.

Developing & Piloting CIS Systems
Weather warnings and climate forecasts are usually too complex for end users such as farmers and citizens to fully understand and act upon. Additionally, information is often received from weather stations far away. This project targeted the collection and analysis of local weather data, improving both the understanding of risks and the actions that should be taken as a result.
