Highlights
Simavi @ the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow Climate change has a huge effect on access to water. Sadly, the people most affected contribute the least to the problem and are excluded from decision-making. During the UN Climate Change Conference Simavi, Day of Adaptation and KEWASNET organised a side event on the link between climate change and water. We interviewed female grassroots leaders from Kenya and Bangladesh about their views on climate change and how to tackle it. The resulting video that featured solutions for water harvesting, flood-resilient water, sanitation and hygiene and awareness raising on the risks coming from natural hazards, were showcased at the Water Pavilion.
TOP 10 Collaborative Innovation Award In the summer of 2021 our collaboration with Day of Adaptation, KEWASNET and Proportion Global was shortlisted for a Partos’ Collaborative Innovation Award. We are delighted by this recognition. Using human-centred design methodologies, we are currently working closely with civil society organisations and communities in Kenya to co-adapt and fully contextualise Minions of Disruptions, a climate board game developed by Day of Adaptation. Our goal is to create a powerful communication tool to facilitate stakeholder and community dialogue on climate action. Through gaming experiences we can rewrite the narrative on climate from gloom and doom to one that is engaging, activating and inclusive. Climate justice requires collaborative innovation – let’s leave no-one behind in climate conversations.
