Now had time to reflect on the amazing inaugural Young Scot #YSFest. Great to hear about the charity's broader work & listen to so many engaged young people. "When it is about us, we are the experts". They are so right!
'Don't invest in putting nets under ladders. Focus on stopping people fall off in the first place!' A great analogy from @GaryRWatmough on building drought resilience and the work of Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action Worth a listen ⬇️👀🎧
Thanks, The Data Lab Community & The Data Lab for the opportunity to participate in the blog series. This year has been a biggie! My main takeaway for 2022? The importance of support! Have a read ⬇️👀🤓
