Sujatha Raman is now pointing out at that Culture is often targeted for behaviour modification, something interdisciplinary research can address. Also, deeply contextual place-based knowledge is crucial, particularly when we want to 'scale up' knowledge #ssnseminar www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I7g...

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.
The effects of heat, unsurprisingly, impacts women disproportionately: Aalok Khandekar is now sharing a tech stack they are working on to model better models for policy and practice www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I7g... #ssnseminar
