Lecture by Prof Rob Marchant (University of York, UK) and Prof Sheona Shackleton (University of Cape Town, SA), on January 29th, 2020 at NUST Auditorium 1.

The Peri-Urban Resilient Ecosystems (PURE) is a research project which addresses the challenge of representative climate resilient urban strategies in dryland Windhoek, Namibia, as a means to enhance future health, wellbeing and economic development. The project aims to apply an innovative values-based scenario tool to develop urban policy informed by multiple stakeholder value systems (e.g. municipal authorities, urban planners, marginalised and informal communities).

The seminar took place on Friday, July 19th, 12h30-14h, and consisted of two short presentations of two on-going research projects by MSc students at the University of Oxford; followed by input from Mr Kaleb Negussie, Department of Geo-Spatial Sciences and Technology, and Dr Ibo Zimmerman, Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Sciences, NUST.
