Building resilience along the Colombia Caribbean coast

GCRF-funded, this project explores the costs of environmental risk and hazards in a region that has been particularly affected by environmental change and exploresand evaluates the strategies of local communities in responding to those risks. The Department of Politics and International Relations', Professor Jean Grugel, will be researching this project at the University of York.

An interdisciplinary project, the work is led by an ecologist, Professor Piran White from the Department of Environment and Geography, and brings together historians, economists, climate change specialists and political scientists to explore the governance of regions and communities facing slow and sudden-onset climate change.
