 earby Ciao Roma Italian restaurant (64 South Bridge\, EH1 1LS). Both venue
 s offer wheelchair access and accessible toilets.\n\nTopic\n\nClimate chan
 ge impacts are now felt across the world. Early warning systems\, weather 
 extremes\, disasters and actions to reduce risk are part of our daily live
 s. What is the role of translation and how does it help people access info
 rmation and protect their lives and livelihoods? This talk will explore th
 e challenges of translating and working across different languages in disa
 ster risk reduction. The first session will present some of the basic conc
 epts used in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. It wil
 l use examples from the speaker’s experiences working across different l
 anguages and with indigenous communities in Latin America. The second sess
 ion will include a series of exercises where the participants will be able
  to explore translation challenges within the topic. We will engage with t
 exts and material in English and other languages to explore ways in which 
 information relevant to disaster risk may be translated in different conte
 xts.\n\nSpeaker\n\nTeresa Armijos Burneo is a Senior Lecturer at the Schoo
 l of Geosciences\, University of Edinburgh. She is a social scientist with
  an interdisciplinary background in History and Development Studies. Her r
 esearch critically examines people's lived experiences of environmental ch
 ange and involves careful engagement with participatory and creative metho
 dologies to co-produce knowledge with those most affected by climate chang
 e and disasters. She has brought this approach into several collaborative 
 interdisciplinary projects which focus on disaster risk and restorative en
 vironmental justice and work with indigenous\, rural and urban communities
  in Latin America and the Caribbean.\n\nCost\n\nWorkshop:\n\nITI Scottish
