SUMMARY:Climate & Community: How Local Knowledge and Power Asymmetries Influence Climate Adaptations in Sudan and the American Southwest
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMany communities across the globe are facing severe disruptions from climate-change. Large-scale projects like solar farms and seawalls often dominate the headlines\, but bottom-up\, community-based adaptations to climate emergencies are just as critical. Local mobilizations drawing on traditional knowledge and bonds of solidarity can help populations across the globe to mitigate the harsh consequences of climate change. Drawing on their research in Sudan and in the American Southwest\, these scholars examine how power relations\, local knowledge\, communal ties\, and legacies of violence shape and inform responses to climate emergencies. \nAudience Focus\nAll grade levels \nMeet the Presenter\nMalathe Ahmed\, Ph.D.\, will shed light on the traditional flood management system used by the community of Tuti Island in Khartoum\, Sudan\, known as the Taya system. This traditional approach plays a crucial role in minimizing vulnerabilities and enhancing the community’s ability to manage the impacts of climate change\, as well as to cope with other crises\, including armed conflict. \nLucas Belury will focus on the Rio Grande Valley at the southern tip of the Texas-Mexico border. The Rio Grande Valley is a cultural heartland that contains thousands of informal colonia communities vulnerable to flooding. This presentation will explore how colonia communities come together to survive through collaboration\, neighborliness\, and generosity. \nAccess the Webinar\n#Open access | Join Webinar Here \nNot yet a member?  More info and Join today!
