    Jul 2 2023

    In this episode, Vishal talks to one of the most important stakeholders that SEI works with in Nakuru - Grace Karanja, Nakuru County's Director of Environment, Energy, Climate Change and Natural Resources.

    Together, they unpack the on-ground realities and concerns of the County government of Nakuru, Kenya, that play into the work being done by both the County officials themselves and in collaboration with SEI Africa in order to make Nakuru a healthy environment where every citizen can have the opportunity to thrive.

  • Urban toolbox
    May 10 2023

    In this third episode, Vishal Mehta introduces one of the outputs of SEI's City Health and Well-being Initiative, namely the Urban Toolbox for "liveable" cities. This Toolbox is a collection of digital tools that support the understanding of different dimensions of urban sustainability.
    Vishal is joined by Diane Archer from SEI's Asia office in Thailand and Rosie Witton from SEI's Oxford centre in the UK.
    The Urban Toolbox will be published online in the weeks following the release of this episode. It will be available on the weAdapt website at www.weadapt.org.
    Once on the site, one can navigate through the different networks available. Within the network section, all the current networks will be visible. That is where SEI's Urban Toolbox will be sitting as well.
