Bulding resilience today for a sustainable tomorrow

Extreme weather events and long-term climatic changes are impacting economies everywhere, and non-state actors and governments must coordinate action to build the resilience of communities, ecosystems, and economies alongside action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.

This full-day event will feature a series of sessions from organizations focusing on different aspects of resilience and the practical steps that a range of actors can take. The day will showcase keynote speakers, panel discussions, and interactive sessions highlighting examples and leaders from developing and developed countries, including from California- and U.S.-based organizations.

If you work with business and investors, philanthropists, international finance institutions, local and national governments, knowledge and research, or local and international civil society organizations and want to take action on climate resilience, please join us.

This is a no-fee meeting, but advance registration is required. More details on sessions and speakers will be shared shortly. The event is organised in partnership between Stockholm Resilience Centre, ICF, Business for Social Responsibility and the UN Climate Resilience Initiative A2R.
