Momentum For Change Podcast

This podcast takes a look at a project in Gorakhpur, India, called Community-Based Micro-Climate Resilience. The initiative helps urban poor communities adapt to climate change by designing and building new types of flood-resilient and affordable houses. They combine locally available bricks with technologies and techniques that make the construction process less energy intensive. Because it uses fewer raw materials, this method ends up being more environmentally friendly than the conventional approach. To learn more, we spoke to Dr. Shiraz Wajih, President of the Gorakhpur Environmental Action Group.
