Resumen
Descripción
The Integrated Watershed and Climate Risk Hotspot Mapping project, led by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) with support from CGIAR’s Food Frontiers and Security Program, is uncovering how climate risks are affecting daily life in the Jerash Camp.
Through this initiative, over 50 officials, municipal engineers, humanitarian agencies and community committees came together to co-design a climate risk mapping approach that combines technical data with local knowledge. Residents shared firsthand experiences of flooded alleys, heat trapped between walls, and challenges in water, drainage and waste management, ensuring interventions reflect real-life conditions.
