Education/Communication/Raising awarenessBoth independently and as a member of the Geological Society of Colombia, I have given several lectures on ecosystem based disaster risk reduction, as well as participated in several venues, such as congress and workshops. The public included both students and other members from the academy, and general public.On-going
Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken: 
Several people are now formed on Eco-DRR and are developing different projects on the topic
What challenges have you encountered in implementing this Resolution and what measures have you taken to overcome them?: 
In Colombia, the government tend to prioritize traditional engineering projects. One of the reasons they provided is that it is too difficult for the public administration to incorporate the maintenance needed for Eco-DRR works in the budget of a public project. This is usually due to the fact that most projects are short term.
