    The Top 5 Posts of October 2020

    The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is both a point of contention and an opportunity for collaboration among countries sharing the Nile river basin’s water resources. In our most read post this month, Matthew Gallagher covers a recent UNC event with Wilson Center Global Fellow Aaron Salzberg on the intricacies of the GERD and the importance of stakeholder diplomatic processes in shaping relationships around the dam.

    In our second most read post, Ryan McNamara shines a light on collateral environmental damage sustained by biodiversity hotspots in the South China Sea resulting from efforts by China to validate their claims over disputed territory.

    The impacts of climate change on migration and maternal health featured in our third and fourth top spots this month. As climate change increasingly drives migration, Linda Lopez and James Blake write that much of that migration will be to cities and make recommendations for how cities can prepare. In the fourth most popular post, the Maternal Health Initiative and Polar Institute’s Deekshita Ramanarayanan, Marisol Maddox, Bethany Johnson, and Michaela Stith team up to highlight the impacts of climate change on Alaska Native maternal health in part 1 of a 2-part series.

    To top off the top five posts, Sara Matthews recaps a recent Wilson Center event on the lessons learned from past vaccine developments and what’s needed today to develop a safe, effective, and trusted COVID-19 vaccine.
