Debt for climate and nature swaps can under the right circumstances provide fiscal space and address climate financing gaps across developing countries (IMF, 2022). Through diminished debt service obligations, swaps will finance nature and climate Key Performance Indicators including policy commitments from Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs). This would expand investment in renewable energy, marine and terrestrial conservation and land restoration. These swaps must be large scale and programmatic, more than piecemeal projects of the past, with swap funds managed through debtor government budgets as with IMF macro programmes or World Bank Development Policy loans (Steele and Patel, 2020).

| What does effective loss and damage finance look like from a resilience perspective? | 10:30 AM | 11:30 AM | Finance & Investment | Mamadou Sylla Ms. Akosita Drova, Regional Coordinator, PCRIC Selita Pulini Tikoibua, LYDC Brenda Mwale, Chief Operations Officer,Green Girls Platform Ritu Bharadwaj, Principal Researcher, International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) | Over the past several years it has become even clearer that loss and damage work is not the same as adaptation and requires its own funding stream. Communities will need access to reliable streams of finance to not only make up for the increasing losses and damages they face, but to also build resilience to the most dire effects of climate change, and – if necessary – relocate. As climate impacts get more severe, the issue of loss and damage financing has an increasingly raised profile. The need for a loss and damage finance facility is becoming ever more apparent. This session aims to complement discussions in this year’s negotiations and will consider a set of issues around meeting L&D needs through effective investments and financial instruments.

Hurrell, Professor and Scott Presidential Chair in Environmental Science and Engineering, Colorado State University Yuchen Gu (MSci), Reseacher at University College London and University of Exeter Kelly Wanser, Executive Director, SilverLining Kelvin Sah, Environmental Officer, AfDB, Youth Leader, Geomatic Engineer | In 2015, IOM estimated that around 3 million people move to cities every week. As our cities continue to grow, there is an opportunity to co-design better response measures to enhance their ability to serve as a place of refuge for many, not only during climate disasters but also during climate-induced conflicts. Conflict is an inevitable aspect of development and change in urban settings. Coupled with climate impacts, the future extent of crisis and conflict in cities is uncertain. Hence, there is a need to develop more constructive and equitable ways to design our cities. To make our cities more resilient, it has become apparent that our discourse must look at the broader lens of urban governance, technologies to protect critical infrastructure, research to fill knowledge gaps and other viable solutions. The objective of the session is to discuss integrated actions that can effectively contribute to full-case resilience.

       | From Risk to Resilience: The path towards achieving disaster and climate resilient infrastructure | 9:00 AM | 10:00 AM | Infrastructure, Energy & Mobility | Mr. Kamal Kishore,l Member Secretary, National Disaster Management Authority, Government of India and Indian Co-Chair of CDRI’s Executive Committee Mr. Aromar Revi, Director, Indian Institute of Human Settlements Dr. Gabriel Bernal, Chief Technical Officer, Ingeniar Risk Intelligence Dr. Roberto Rudari, Program Director, CIMA Research Foundation Mr. Jan Kellet, Head – UNDP Insurance and Risk Finance Facility Mr. Ivo Menzinger, Managing Director – Europe, Middle East and Africa – Public Sector Business, Swiss Re Prof. Jim Hall, Director of Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford Ms. Savina Carluccio, Executive Director, International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure | Managing and reducing disaster and climate risk is essential to the resilience of infrastructure systems and the essential services they provide. Accessible and comparable probabilistic multi-hazard, climate conditioned financial risk metrics are fundamental to closing the resilience gap. These metrics can be used to make the case for the integration of disaster and climate risk management into national infrastructure policies and plans, and to inform the development of design standards and norms. They are necessary to make the economic case for resilience and to enable the economic valuation of approaches such as Nature-based Solutions. Financial risk metrics are also critical to calculate the contingent liabilities and the risk adjusted returns on investments in infrastructure projects and to calibrate risk financing schemes and mechanisms. This session will present the preliminary results of a pioneering Global Infrastructure Risk Model and Resilience Index (GIRI) – the first ever probabilistic risk and resilience assessment covering global infrastructure sectors.

Although increasing evidence acknowledges the links between climate, conflict and food insecurity, current actions are still too siloed. The siloed nature of institutions, limited understanding of systemic risks and their implications, and the existence of inherent tensions and trade-offs between different perspectives and solutions all contribute to the lack of sufficient action. This session provides a safe space to explore a diversity of perspectives on the types of action needed to avoid the most dire scenarios of the current food crisis and the food-climate-conflict nexus.

In addition, women suffer disproportionate impacts of climate change – women, for example, are fourteen times more likely to die during environmental disasters than men. Women also play a central (but often invisible) role in global supply chains as producers, distributors and entrepreneurs, making up 43% of the world’s agricultural labour force. So, how can we transition to a net zero economy at the same time as economically empowering more women?

     | Unlocking Blue Prosperity: How blue food communities can survive and thrive in the climate emergency | 2:00 PM | 3:00 PM | Oceans & Coasts | Dr. Essam Yassin Mohammed, Interim Director General, WorldFish Dr. Michelle Tigchelaar, Research Scientist, Center for Ocean Solutions, Stanford University Dr. Rahma Adam, Gender, Social Inclusion & Market Scientist, WorldFish Howaida Nagy, Project Manager, CARE Egypt Jeremy Ragauin, Republic of Seychelles Delegation to COP27 and Alliance of Small Island States Fellow Tom Grasso, Vice-President Climate-Resilient Food Systems, Environmental Defense Fund | Blue, aquatic foods and the benefits they provide to billions of people around the world are threatened by climate change, especially in countries where significant sustainable development challenges persist. Current efforts to adapt to climate change often focus on preserving the status quo, but for vulnerable aquatic food communities such an approach is not only insufficient but also decouples responses to climate change from sustainable development aspirations. In this session, experts will discuss the need to raise ambition from adaptation to a “shared blue prosperity” and call on leaders to effect justice-informed financing, innovation, and collaboration to enact this vision.

| Conservation of Agrobiodiversity and Climate Adaptation in the Andes: Resilience and food security of Andean communities | 3:30 PM | 4:30 PM | Dr. Carlos Amasifuen, Director at the Subdirectorate of Genetic Resources of INIA (Peru) Orlando Achu, General Director of Rural Development of the Ministry of Rural Development and Lands of Bolivia MDRyT | According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), agrobiodiversity includes the variability of animals, plants and microorganisms, at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels, which together play a fundamental role in food security and nutrition. Likewise, it is essential because it regulates ecological functions, allowing species to continue evolving and adapting; in addition to providing the population and livelihoods, social, cultural and recreational values. This session creates a space for exchange for national and subnational actors on experiences in the conservation of agrobiodiversity as a measure for the resilience of native communities to climate change and for strengthening food security.

The connections between loss and damage, and culture and heritage, are transversal, complex – and too often missing for the loss and damage conversation. Culture and heritage along with Indigenous and local knowledge systems are increasingly vulnerable to loss from both slow and rapid onset hazards (and also sometimes maladaptation and mal-mitigation). This session asks: How does one grieve from the loss of the irreplaceable? What is the price of cultural extinction? Does loss mean the same thing in every culture?

After the screening there will be a panel discussion featuring Ali, a 19-year-old leukaemia survivor who helped reveal the truth about the poisonous air his community has to breathe in Rumaila oil field, where BP is the lead contractor. The film’s director, Jess Kelly will talk about the risks and difficulties of making the film in Iraq and how the world’s biggest oil companies – BP, Shell and Exxon Mobil have responded to the allegations. We discuss the concept of ‘sacrifice zones’ where company profits are prioritised over human health, human rights and the environment and talk about solutions. How can we ensure that the next generation of Iraqis do not suffer the way Ali did? | ||||||||||
