Cartoons for the Resilience Evidence Forum

I recently had the opportunity to draw live cartoons at the Resilience Evidence Forum held in Cape Town, joining virtually from India. Here's the gallery of cartoons created on various topics discussed and debated upon at the forum.

Africa and climate change:


The climate resilience trampoline



The dilemmas of standardizing measurements for resilience:



The underwhelming percentage of private investments in resilience:



Western definitions and their lack of applicability or relatability in other regions and cultures:


How war upsets climate resilience:


Globalized versus regionalized definitions and measurements for risk:



The role of art, music and culture in climate evidence and resilience:


Definitions of 'community' in climate resilience:



Climate change and Africa's right to development:


Standardizing measurements and metrics for resilience:


A huge thanks to Corina Angheloiu of the Global Resilience Partnership for the opportunity!

Typhoon Mangkhut and Hong Kong


Hong Kong has been grappling with housing for its skyrocketing population, and the government's proposed solution is reclaiming land from the sea. Environmental organizations have warned against the policy's disastrous environmental consequences. Typhoon Mangkhut cut straight across the city recently, thankfully not claiming any human life. This could well serve as a timely reminder to the government to not meddle with the natural forces along its coastline, whose mangroves, the first line of defence against natural disasters, are under direct threat from development.
