A community finds its strength in its shared beliefs, traditions, practices, etc. and thus, disregarding it while striving towards disaster resilient sustainable development makes no sense at all. The objective of this project is to “incorporate the dimension of cultural heritage in the contemporary approaches of community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM) and establish that CBDRM is not merely limited to disaster response”. The envisaged outcome of the project is to foster capacity building by ‘designing a hand-book for the decision-makers in the government as well as the young professionals, focussing on the true potential of cultural heritage in CBDRM approaches which is not restricted to merely disaster response but overarchingly inculcates the idea of using cultural heritage for disaster risk management and climate change adaptation’. The project is based in Assam, India; where the impact of floods is huge and every year people have to suffer a lot due to the floods.

The Rights of water Campaign was launched by Alberto Tiraferri, Associate Professor at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). The main goal of the Campaign is to draft a Declaration of Water Rights to grant specific rights to water, and to consider it as a subject with ontological value, not as a mere object. Other than drafting the Declaration of Water rights, we hope to promote a new ecological and civil culture to discipline once again the relationship between water and human beings, thus deconstructing the idea that man is the owner of water, a belief that has long justified an abuse and improper use of the water element. Thanks to the work of Professor Alberto Tiraferri and of the philosopher Leonardo Caffo, a Preamble of the Declaration was already drafted in nine different languages. Except for the Preamble, the Declaration will be formulated thanks to the crucial contribution of the community: using the dedicated section available on the website, it is possible to share any proposals on what rights should be granted to water!
