Climate and Culture

Culture and climate change we are trying to change what people interpret as experiences and the way people behave.    A lot of the culture comes from the past; the present modifies that and creates new facets.   How can we bring a culture of risk reduction? One of the tools that cities are using is the Sendai Framework for reducing the disaster risks but what we need is the localization of that.  The implementation has been national driven but over the years we are coordinating cities to localize this risk reduction in the local governments and further into the communities.    Impacts: there is a culture of fatalism so it needs to be deal with trying to look at how can we actually reduce the risk and change that trajectory.   We have to examine how past disasters were documented.    There is no mythology without disasters.   What has impacted the narration of those disasters and how was the data collected from the event? We need to be aware of what is happening.  It is important and put in context If some corrections are needed.   Telling life lessons, passing on the experience is important.   Cities can play a big role in helping museums contribute to this resilience building culture around the world.    Assessment methodology.    The reconstruction also needs to look at the culture heritage.    How do we make the institutions, the collections, the museums that we operate to climate risks
