A physical and virtual Hub at COP26 and the home of Race to Resilience
best of the hub
Our vision
Led by global non-state actors from business, investors, civil society, academia, cities and regions, the Resilience Hub provided an unforgettable immersion into the urgency for action while mobilizing ambition to deliver a resilient world for all, as never before experienced at any COP.
We started in Glasgow and won’t stop until the job gets done.
Resilience Hub is the home of Race to Resilience at COP26. The Hub’s programme is framed around the three pillars of Race to Resilience, and many of our partners are supporting and/or taking part in the Race to Resilience.
Partners
- The Resilience Hub is the home of the UNFCCC’s Race to Resilience that is driving action by non-state actors, showcasing the partner initiatives.
- The Resilience Hub Steering Committee includes the COP26 Presidency, FCDO, UNFCCC and the High Level Champions team.
- It is managed by the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center at the Atlantic Council, the Global Resilience Partnership and The Resilience Shift.
- The programme is led by Hubs from around the globe – South Asia, Latin America, Africa, South East and East Asia, Pacific, and of course from the heart of Glasgow in the COP26 Blue Zone and at Glasgow Caledonian University.
- The programme is being organised with the help of over 80 private and public organisations. See Programme page.

Presence
- A virtual hub connected to people, communities and businesses across the globe.
- A physical space for two weeks in the blue zone at COP26 in Glasgow, to serve as a focal point on climate action on adaptation and resilience building.
- An accessible satellite hub in Glasgow to be used as a space in which to meet and share, network and showcase your work on resilience with the community of interest.
Objectives
- To share best practice and build collaboration, momentum and new opportunities on adaptation and resilience.
- To help amplify messages globally on resilience and adaptation at COP26.
- To help set the direction for future action on adaptation and resilience beyond COP26.
Opportunity
Action on adaptation and resilience has been behind action on mitigation. Yet action on both is essential to deliver a 1.5-degree resilient world and prepare for decades of worsening climate impacts. This is why increased action on adaptation is a priority for the UN Secretary General and why the COP26 Presidency has an explicit goal on adaptation.
While previous COPs have seen an increase in focus on resilience and adaptation it has been spread across different initiatives, spaces and events inside and outside the COP. Adaptation and resilience was “everywhere but nowhere” without a focal point.
The Resilience Hub is designed to meet this challenge. Its central purpose is to advance action on adaptation and resilience at COP26 and beyond, and to help provide a strong collective voice on resilience for all those globally who are working to build a more resilient world.
