Bouncing Back, with Dr. Thalia Balkaran

Climate-related disasters are happening more and more often on Earth. And while they manifest in different forms and places, not all humans are equally at risk. 
For this episode, we invited Dr. Thalia Balkaran. This wonderful woman is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist  at the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) of Columbia Climate School. She studies disaster preparedness and specializes in resilient children and communities in the context of small islands in the Caribbean. 
She shared some really interesting facts on climate resilience, risk reduction, vulnerability, and how communities can bounce back when disaster strikes with Alterleap's founder, Ariana.
