SSN seminar: 'Toward Community-Based Heat Adaptation' with Aalok Khandekar

Deakin Science and Society Network @deakinssn.bsky.social · Aug 7

Robert ends his response with the salient question "Can we afford not to learn from this case study?"

Deakin Science and Society Network @deakinssn.bsky.social · Aug 7

Robert Faggian is now responding from the Australian context, where he has also found that modular/ cookie cutter policy solutions in climate adaptation fall short. Policy treats informal and community responses as risky, rather than an as asset in adaptation.

It started with an emergency packaged hospital designed to shelter North American atomic bomb refugees, being set up in Nigeria..
