“Home Economists: Investing in Risk Management for Resilience”
This theme evokes poignant discussions on the role of the home economist and persons in the society amidst climate change more specifically, natural disasters. Climate change affects all aspects of our life viz. Environmental, technological, sociological, psychological, financial, and educational. It is therefore imperative for society to invest in risk management as a mitigating factor against these occurrences. The requisite resources must also be applied for capacity building towards the resilience of all citizens.
