"Climate change has an immediate effect on my livelihood, but the information available often hides this impact. Talk of average temperature changes doesn’t give the information that people like me need. We need more resources that actually explain what changes in the climate mean in terms of impact to people." - Jim Mawle, Farmer

Risk Know How practitioner, Professor Ramon Fernando Colmenares-Quintero, Director of the Engineering Research Institute at Universidad Cooperative de Colombia and BERSTIC Network: "The greatest impact in empowering the Wayuu community to make decisions on risk related to energy and water came from inclusive, culturally sensitive consultations and co-design... This process respected their beliefs around natural resources while incorporating technological innovations, creating a stronger sense of ownership and participation in the solutions. This understanding—that solutions must be built with the community, not imposed on them—helped ensure that any new energy and water initiatives would be sustainable and accepted, ultimately empowering the community to manage risks more effectively​."
