The project is integrated within the Oxford Martin School’s Systemic Resilience programme, which aims to advance practical solutions to manage shocks with the potential for major and prolonged economic disruption, severe human or economic impacts, and contagion. It brings together academics specialising in biophysical modelling, risk analysis, transboundary resources and infrastructure, development, disaster preparedness and economics to reflect the high complexity and interdependencies of the systems involved. Professor Dercon, (University of Oxford), Dr Ashley Pople (World Bank), and Rocco Zizzamia (University of Oxford) are leading the stream within the project which focuses on the design of early warning and action innovations to identify cost-effective solutions for strengthening household resilience to climate shocks.
