Supporting Climate Resilient Heritage in Uganda - Melting Snow and Rivers in Flood
Explores a community-led response, where climate change risks the erasing of belief systems, cultural rites and scared sites alike.
Responding to rapid glacial melt and extreme floods in the Rwenzori and West Nile region of Uganda, this project focuses on adopting an integrated approach to mitigating the impact climate change is having on local heritage.
