Rapid solutions for the changing climate

摘要

The key question for Brigaid is how to respond effectively to looming crises. Consider, for example, extremely high water levels: a new range of solutions has now been developed that go beyond the traditional sandbags. Or forest fires, where early warning systems can mean the difference between life and death. One of Brigaid's responsibilities is to assess innovations in this field on the basis of three criteria. First, is it possible to conduct thorough technical testing on the innovations, and are they reliable and quick to apply?
