Ixchel: Building understanding of the physical, cultural and socio-economic drivers of risk for strengthening resilience in the Guatemalan cordillera (May 20 – Dec 24). Ixchel is a collaborative and interdisciplinary project that brings together approaches in the physical sciences, social sciences and humanities and aims to improve resilience to hazards and disasters in Guatemala by developing rigorous multi-hazard assessments, and by embedding Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) within human rights frameworks. The project’s distinctive features include in-depth long-term participatory and ethnographic work with communities, and engagement with Indigenous ways of knowing and being, and an in-depth understanding of existing disaster scholarship. Funded by: UKRI – Natural Environment Research Council – Global Challenges Research Fund.
