Join us for a conversation about Arrival cities in times of disasters! Compounding risks and accelerating climate change disaster risk management is essential for all cities – but how can Arrival cities include migrants in their disaster risk reduction (DRR)? We want to look at the ARRIVE study that examined exactly those challenges and solutions and at an example of German flood prevention practices – and what we can learn from each other!
Be there for:
- The official launch of the ARRIVE study – Analysis of Risk for Urban Migrants, Refugees, and IDPs in Vulnerable Environments, presented by one of its lead authors from United Nations University – Institute for Environment and Human Security, Lucas Turmena
- An exciting insight into one of the case study cities – Makurdi, Nigeria – by the Executive Director of the Center for Redefining Alternative Civic Engagement for Africa (RACE Africa), Evelyn Terundu Ugbe
- A presentation on flood protection and prevention in Cologne, Germany by the deputy head of the flood control center by the StEB Cologne, Dr. Marlene Willkomm
- Interactive Q&As and discussions on what we can all learn from each other!
