Over the past three years, the SAA and its Task Forces have become the backbone of global coordination for adaptation, supporting implementation under the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and driving the integration of resilience into the COP Action Agendas. At COP30, adaptation stands at the center of climate action. The Presidency’s Action Agenda embeds […]

The main concept to be featured at this session would be the powerful role that insurance can play in freeing up other sources of private capital for investment in adaptation. Framed by a recent report issued by Oliver Wyman, the program would highlight four practitioners who are currently leading projects that leverage new insurance tools […]

This event will spotlight how countries can leverage National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and Loss and Damage funding mechanisms to access and channel finance toward urgent resilience needs. Countries across the Global South—from island states like Samoa and Sri Lanka to continental nations such as Peru—are demonstrating how NAPs can move beyond planning to become investable, […]

This evening reception will provide an opportunity to come together in an informal setting to celebrate milestones of the past ten years of CREWS and six years of REAP; and look into the future as both kickstart their 2030 Strategy. Partners are coming together to discuss impactful risk-informed early warning and early action in the […]

The session will begin with an informal networking breakfast at 8:30, offering participants the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas before the official programme starts.MBR’s goal is to convene and facilitate 30 […]

Climate-vulnerable economies are bearing the brunt of intensifying climate impacts. Rising sea levels, floods, droughts, and shifting weather patterns threaten lives, livelihoods, and economies. At present, public institutions account for the overwhelming majority of adaptation finance, with private investment making up less than 3%. To address this imbalance, various nationally and internationally driven initiatives are […]

This session, inspired by the film “I Am The River, The River Is Me”, offers successful case studies from the Rights of Nature movement that have demonstrated long-term solutions toward biodiversity protection, promoting community resilience and livelihoods, and building climate resilience. As one of the fastest growing environmental movements globally, Rights of Nature recognizes that […]

By highlighting innovative initiatives and experiences from indigenous organizations, private companies, and cooperation partners, the discussion will emphasize the importance of building trust […]

As climate change worsens socio-economic disparities, those least responsible, women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, and vulnerable communities, face the greatest impacts to climate change, deepening cycles of poverty and exclusion. Breaking this cycle requires centering the most vulnerable in adaptation efforts. The Race to Resilience campaign brings together initiative driving resilience solutions through inclusive, locally-led, and […]

Global average temperatures continue to rise, exposing nearly 600 million people to coastal flooding due to sea level rise, while the rest of the world faces escalating threats from cyclones, salinity intrusion, droughts, heat stress, wildfires, and other severe climate impacts. These impacts are increasing risk across the built environment sector and the need for […]

The Investor Forum, convened by the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), is designed to address this bottleneck by bridging the gap between high-potential resilience innovations and the ecosystem of funders, investors, partners, and implementers who can help scale their impact. GRP plays a pivotal role in identifying, assessing, and monitoring these innovations through rigorous selection processes, […]

While global adaptation finance flows are rising, they fall far short of what is required. Less than a tenth of climate finance is dedicated towards adaptation and even less towards vulnerable communities, such as smallholder farmers, risking food security, financial stability and prosperity. Philanthropic capital can be the game‑changer where risks are deemed too high, […]
