Study Tour to Brazil on Climate DRR in Cities
The study tour ran from the 12th to the 20th of May, in Rio de Janeiro, with a focus on climate disaster risk reduction. The tour was a successful and rewarding experience, and we would like to share some information with you about the tour, and invite the ELLA participants to share their experiences and lessons learned. Please find attached a copy of the welcome pack giving details on each of the ELLA participants and local participants, and a summary of each of the meetings attended. Later, a report on the lessons learned from the study tour will be shared with all.

Study Tour Daily MinutesWrap-up of the Curriculum
As the formal learning modules have been completed it is important for
us to take stock of the Learning Alliance, to see what has been of the
most value to you. We are interested in hearing about what you have
liked about the Alliance and how it has impacted on your work.
We would like to take this opportunity to ask all you all to share with us, how you might put lessons learned from the ELLA Learning Alliance into practice or how you plan to collaborate with others on themes that we have discussed over the past 5 months. As you will remember we have looked at the role of different actors - from the government, through institutions, civil society, and down to community members. We have looked at steps that might be taken to improve urban climate resilience - including risk mapping, land-use planning, policy actions, DRR strategies, investments in sustainable infrastructure and resilient housing, and low-carbon development strategies. We have seen many good practices from a range of cities across Africa, Asia and Latin America, and many of you have already mentioned potential action plans and collaborations that you might embark upon. For those of you that have not, we would like to encourage you to think along these lines. We would like to have a little more detail on these onward plans.
Another very important point pertains to the continuity of this ELLA Learning Alliance and what we can do to continue to learn from one another in the coming months and years. Our formal learning programme has come to an end, but the alliance need not! The Networking Page will soon become the landing page for those that visit the site, and we will still have the opportunity to share documents and ideas with one another. If, however, you have any interest in keeping a structured learning exchange going and any ideas about about how we might do this in collaboration, we would be very glad to hear from you.
In summary, this week, we are interested to hear from you about:
1) How the ELLA Learning Alliance has inspired you
2) Any actions that you plan to take or collaborations that you plan to embark upon as a result of the Learning Alliance
3) Any suggestions as to how we might give a structure to our exchange now that the curriculum has been completed
All the best,
Charlotte and the ELLA team
