The Regional Resilience Hubs play a crucial role in delivering the overarching vision for the Resilience Hub by ensuring the voices and perspectives of the most vulnerable and climate-affected are amplified and increasingly drive the global resilience agenda in the next ten years. The respective RegHubs are envisioned to play a centralizing role in elucidating and communicating regional priorities, actions, solutions and challenges to be amplified onto a global stage.

The Regional Hubs are an integral component of the overall Resilience Hub. The virtual summit is an integral part of the Regional Hub Strategy.

The Summit is being held online and over the course of two days. The structure of the sessions are a mix of:

  • Learning webinars and workshops
    Sessions that focus on knowledge exchange in a webinar or workshop format
  • Cross-learning sessions
    Sessions focused on sharing learnings across regions
  • Policy dialogues
    Sessions that link specific policy processes, either regional or global
