The Resilience Hub @ COP26
“We’re delighted that the Resilience Hub has been a real success here and we hope that it goes from strength to strength to draw more attention and direct more resources to resilience solutions”

COP26 Resilience Hub Synthesis Report
Key messages and future directions
A Focal Point
The Resilience Hub at COP26 was the first ever permanent home for resilience at a COP. 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.
In Glasgow, the Resilience Hub acted as a public platform for the newly formed Race to Resilience and provided a unique convening, learning, and connecting platform for actors across the full spectrum of resilience and adaptation landscape.
It advanced action and commitments on adaptation, and helped provide a strong collective voice on resilience for all – those who were at COP physically and those who were able to participate for the first time ever.
