Key Mechanisms of An Intersectional Gender and Socially Inclusive Community Engagement and Participatory Design Approach in the RISE Program in Makassar, Indonesia and Suva, Fiji
Globally, more than one billion people live in urban informal settlements and experience suboptimal access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

As mudanças climáticas em sítios com valor cultural
O presente livro traz, a partir de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, estudos de caso e análises sobre diferentes possibilidades de uso da tecnologia a favor do patrimônio e sobre formas de desenvolvimento de resiliência e mitigações aos efeitos das mudanças climáticas. A obra, composta por oito capítulos, dos quais sete foram produzidos no seio do Laboratório do Ambiente (https://labam.dev/), nos traz uma orientação para todo nosso potencial de mudança sobre o mundo que nos cerca. As relações entre estudos de caso concretos, reflexões teóricas e metodológicas e, em especial, a proposição de caminhos para construirmos um presente e um futuro diferentes, nos mostram que os tempos podem ser difíceis, mas é neste tempo presente que podemos optar e construir um amanhã (muito próximo!) melhor. Na certeza de uma boa leitura, Aline Carvalho Coordenadora do Comitê de Mudanças Climáticas e Patrimônio do Icomos Brasil

Gender and Rurality
Originally published in 1994, this book brings together papers developing feminist analyses of the rural condition from a wide range of industrialised countries, informed by the national and local cultural constructions of gender and rurality which they interpret. The chapters address the gendered power relations of rural households and agricultural science; women’s mobilisation in farming and environmental politics; the intersection of domestic and rural values and practices as they shape gender identities.

In a rapidly urbanizing and globalized world, cities have been the epicentres of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

This report shows that the intrinsic value of sustainable urbanization can and should be harnessed for the wellbeing of all. It provides evidence and policy analysis of the value of urbanization from an economic, social and environmental perspective. It also explores the role of innovation and technology, local governments, targeted investments and the effective implementation of the New Urban Agenda in fostering the value of sustainable urbanization.
