This 15-page report and associated briefing notes consolidate the learning from a research project to address some of the gaps in evidence and institutional accountability systems. It articulates the challenges that International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement members experience in institutionalizing a community-led approach. The report uses this evidence to substantiate assumptions about the value and impact of community engagement and participation. Brief 1 uses Ebola as an example. (PDF)

Source: North Carolina State University. Published: 9/25/2019. This 52-minute webinar discusses the many southeastern cities that are particularly vulnerable to climate change compared to cities in other regions, with expected impacts to infrastructure and human health. The vibrancy and viability of these metropolitan areas, including the people and critical regional resources located in them, are increasingly at risk due to heat, flooding, and vector-borne disease brought about by a changing climate. The natural climate of the Southeast provides a conducive atmosphere for health issues, including the spread of disease. (Video or Multimedia)
