Parallel Session 11.2: Climate Resilience roadshow (Climate Centre)

Introduction

The Climate Resilience Roadshow is a platform for discussion on how to deliver climate resilience at scale, and in vulnerable contexts, building on
evidence from three of the biggest investments in this area.

This event is part of a series of interactive dialogues that were held throughout 2018 – London in July;

Singapore in July (during the Asia Pacific Climate Week); Manila in October (during the APAN forum); Nairobi in October; and Dakar in November – all of which were Regional TEM-A.

The session will bring local voices and lived experiences to those making critical decisions on adaptation planning and resilience building investments. Participants will hear from the following climate resilience initiatives:

  • Action on Climate Today (ACT);
  • Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters
    (BRACED);
  • Partners for Resilience (PfR).

These initiatives are nearing conclusion (or have recently concluded), and are drawing out key lessons from project activities to inform global communities of practice what works, what doesn’t, and how to structure necessary changes. Initiatives such as BRACED have emphasized an engagement at the community level; ACT has focused sharply on delivering technical assistance to governments for policy enhancement and institutional strengthening; and PfR has focused on policy dialogue and advocacy approaches for achieving integrated risk management at scale. Together they bring complementary and comprehensive insights on enhancing climate adaptation and delivering resilience at scale.

Objectives

  • Share replicable lessons, frameworks and insights on ‘what works’ to enhance adaptation and build resilience at different scales;
  • Unpack what incentives could be put in place to make the changes necessary to raise ambition for immediate action on adaptation and address barriers in the system;
  • Explore approaches for accessing and managing financial resources for delivering adaptation and resilience at scale in vulnerable communities;
  • Determine ways to ensure wider uptake of models and tools for that have proven successful in reducing risk and vulnerability in different contexts – all of which are essential in the NAP process.

Expected outcomes

Insights on enhancing climate adaptation and delivering resilience at scale.
