Flooding in York, UK, 2007 – Claudio Mazzetti
Marion Walker draws on research into the 2013/2014 UK floods to argue that “by understanding their perspectives and capacities” children and young people “could inform more effective policy, enhance resilience and reduce the impact of future emergencies.
