Resurgence

Resurgence is a global design, communications and consulting company that specialises in urban climate risk and resilience in the global south. We have award-winning expertise in helping governments, city authorities, urban planners, disaster risk experts, responders and communities to reduce the effects of climate hazards and high impact weather events such as flooding, storms and heatwaves. Our solutions include co-designing inclusive early warning systems with city and community stakeholders, and supporting governments and cities to develop the data infrastructure to manage and reduce climate risk. Our flagship DARAJA service is supported by the Met Office-led Weather and Climate Information Services for Africa (WISER) Programme of UK FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office). DARAJA aims to improve the climate resilience of vulnerable populations living in cities, slums and informal settlements in East Africa and the Global South, by building bridges between communities and weather and climate information providers. The Service is also being adapted for deployment into Small Island States (SIDS) via a demonstrator for the Caribbean based in Kingston, Jamaica (IDB - International Development Bank).
