SIDE EVENT: Youth, technology and inclusion for DRR

In the context of systemic risk exacerbated by climate change and socioeconomic phenomena, such as forced displacement, gentrification and establishment of communities in areas of greatest exposure, as well as a regional sociodemographic pyramid with a tendency towards groups under 35 years of age, this session will seek provide an innovative and permanent space for youth to develop a solid risk epistemological foundation built from local experiences.

This, in turn, will represent a local approach towards meeting the objectives and goals of the Sendai Framework, since it will guarantee "leaving no one behind" and will take up the needs of groups in a particularly vulnerable situation.

Based on the projects worked on during ResilienceTech22, the improvement of Early Warning Systems will be deepened based on the conditions inherent to youth: accessible, simple, low-cost and realistic solutions for the given context.
