Why modern construction techniques might fail in a changing climate
In short: After returning to Papua New Guinea, human rights advocate Manu Peni discovered that the latest building technologies are not always the most effective solutions for local environments.
Manu Peni explores the tension between modern engineering and ancestral knowledge. Through his personal experience building a home with modern techniques in Papua New Guinea, he illustrates how new methods can fall short of local needs. Peni argues for a future where Indigenous wisdom and contemporary science work together to address the challenges of climate change.
