Join African colleagues for a discussion of heritage's role in climate resilience, and the opportunities/challenges for locally-led, science-based, values-driven vulnerability assessment processes in Africa & globally, featuring lessons from the #CVIAfrica project.

The aim of the session is to disseminate the CVI:Africa experiences, learning and challenges in the sector of heritage management and indigenous and local communities' resilience. It will also examine how community knowledge of food and agriculture can contribute to building resilience around food security, an increasing concern in the face of climate-induced extreme events such as drought.
