In this episode, Guido Pizzini - Director, Business Development, Impact and Partnerships at Immap Inc. - takes us through his dream of mapping community response to climate change. This idea is driven by his reading of Landscapes of Retreat: 

'...a reading of how the climate emergency lands in real places across time by paying close attention to adaptation charged with intimate, local memory'

Landscapes of Retreat, ROSETTA S. ELKIN

Preparedness is at the core of humanitarian response, built up over 100 years of crises, learning and developing capacity and techniques to ensure each time an event occurs, the response is better. But impact varies greatly depending on where an event occurs. How do we capture local knowledge? How do we transpose knowledge between regions? Is that even possible or is it really just a dream? 

Guido believes a concerted and unified effort within the humanitarian realm could achieve a map that does just this.
