At Resilience 2014, May 4-8, Montpellier

Lucy Rodina is currently attending Resilience 2014 in Montpellier, France. Resilience 2014 is an international multi- and inter-disciplinary conference, organized by the “French node” of the Resilience Alliance network (CIRAD – CNRS – IRSTEA- INRA), Agropolis International and their partners of the campus of Montpellier. Building on the first two conferences (in Stockholm & in Phoenix), Resilience 2014 is a forum for “exchanges and discussions articulating concepts & practices of adaptation, transformation and development”. The conference showcases a side variety of perspectives and approaches to defining, measuring, challenging and re-imagining “resilience” and related concepts. Lucy is presenting a poster that builds on her Master’s work on water access and water governance in Cape Town by relating it to water resilience. Lucy is interested in imagining that water resilient communities in the context of informal settlements may look like. For updates, you can follow Lucy’s twitter and the general conference feed HERE.
