The Water Adaptation Community

We produced and edited three videos for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference with The Water Adaptation Community. The videos were shown to delegates and world leaders at the conference to raise awareness of water related climate disaster and guide them in how they can take action.

Producer, Video Editor: Daniel Lane
Sound & Video Editor: Rob Yeadon

 

Video 1 - Mainstreaming Water Adaptation

Mainstreaming water adaptation refers to the integration of adaptation measures to address water-related challenges into policies, plans, and programs across different sectors and levels of governance. The goal is to make water adaptation a standard practice that is integrated into decision-making processes and implemented systematically.

Video 2 - Hotspots

Climate change means increasing pressure on the Earth’s system and human societies. The pressures are and will be severe and provide a cocktail of risks for people and societies and threaten livelihoods and life-supporting systems. A landscape approach is necessary - in contrast to addressing issues separately - as multiple climate related challenges interrelate in one place (droughts, floods, heatwaves, pollution etc.).

Video 3 - Communities of Practice

The WAC Community of Practice are essentially topical umbrellas that link to existing networks, projects and communities of practice all over the globe. The WAC facilitator works with each Community of Practice to continuously identify the most pressing questions and adaptation issues, and then the WAC supports their cross-learning, and knowledge brokering. The WAC invites members to take part in exchanges, webinars, e-learning and writing up their own stories and blogs.

Global Center on Adaptation

Working in conjunction with the GCA, Know Your City TV (Nairobi, Kenya) we produced and edited 6 short films about building climate resilience in urban informal settlements. These short videos highlight key lessons from the Mukuru approach and strategies for undertaking locally-led upgrading, which can then be adopted and applied in other informal settlements.

KYC were responsible for shooting all the footage in Mukuru, the GCA supplied the script and Pacote gathered all the content, tweaked the script, added graphics, a soundtrack, a voiceover - and put together a cohesive message that would be seen and heard by people who have the power to make changes in Kenya.

  1. THE MUKURU APPROACH

Overview - 2m 40s

A high-level overview of the Mukuru Special Planning Area (SPA). The Mukuru approach has taught us that improving climate resilience in informal settlements requires the urgent coordination of several key strategies. National and city leaders should take up this approach to building climate resilience and upgrading informal settlements.

Key concepts:

• The promise of and need for upgrading as a climate resilience strategy in rapidly urbanizing Africa

• The need to put communities at the center of planning

• The crucial role of local governments and locally-led action for upgrading and resilience

2. COMMUNITY CO-PLANNING

Starting in 2017, residents of Mukuru, one of the largest informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya worked with the local government to plan infrastructure improvements. This included crucial investments in water, sanitation, roads, storm drains, health, and education. The SPA is an example of a true “co-planning” process.

London School of Photography Digital Strategy

London School of Photography offers short photography courses in Central London. After a recent rebrand, LSP wanted to match their renowned offline presence to an online audience, expanding their reach.

The main goal was to position LSP as an authority in Photography online and a curator of digital content. 

Pacote produced an online landscape report and social properties report for LSP. We then created a full digital strategy with emphasis on social media and content curation. In the first 2 months, Facebook engagement grew more than 500%.

 
 

Working with Film Studios and Editorial Sites

Pacote creates generic EPK content to be used in editorial sites, such as Total Film and Huffington Post. We specialise in junkets, press conferences and red carpets.
