Manoj and Thomas have represented Grassroute today at the CDRI Fellowship Project Stakeholder Meeting in Kochi!

The dialogue focused on critical gaps in healthcare access and the design of safe shelters during floods. We also delved into the growing challenges posed by tidal flooding in Kochi. Huge thanks to IIT Roorkee for leading this vital initiative. Looking forward to collaborating on a more resilient future for Kochi.

"The global annual average loss (AAL) in the #infrastructure sectors due to #disasters and #ClimateChange currently stands between USD 301 and USD 330 billion – biennial report from the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (#CDRI).

The inclusion of health and education infrastructure, and building stock, increases that range to USD 732 - 845 bn, with nearly half of this contingent liability held by the low-and-middle-income countries."
