Climate and You: Through a Social Lens 

The cost of humanitarian action is increasing year-on-year, and so finding ways to address the underlying causes of disasters and conflict is key to supporting efforts to meet humanitarian need with the limited funding, time, and resources the sector has access to. In line with these concerns, the rise of “resilience humanitarianism” and localisation agendas that focus on community resilience building have seen a move away from traditional response-based humanitarian action towards a longer-term approach.

This talk will cover how the humanitarian sector is changing its actions to try and address the greater need associated with the climate crisis, based on interviews with humanitarian practitioners in Malawi.

How can societies adapt to their uncertain climatic future?
