Dear Partners in Resilience

The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) reports on its 2023 initiatives, highlighting the growth of the PREPARE Call to Action to 31 companies, the implementation of the Resilient Agricultural Innovations for Nature (RAIN) Challenge in East Africa, and the hosting of the Resilience Evidence Forum in South Africa. The statement emphasizes the financial benefits of adaptation investments and the shift toward transformative resilience and whole-systems approaches.

• The PREPARE Call to Action to the Private Sector, launched at COP27 by GRP and USAID, expanded significantly by COP28 to include 31 companies, illustrating the necessity of partnerships to fill gaps in climate adaptation.
• Research led by BCG, GRP, and USAID indicates a strong business case for resilience, stating that every dollar spent on adaptation and resilience measures can generate between $2 and $15 in financial benefits.
• The Resilient Agricultural Innovations for Nature (RAIN) Challenge implemented community-led innovations in Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda, including road runoff harvesting, capacity development, and the use of earthworms for organic fertiliser.
• The Resilience Evidence Forum in Cape Town, South Africa, served as the largest gathering of its kind, bringing together over 1,200 professionals to discuss scaling evidence-based solutions and resilience strategies.
• The GRP advocates for a shift from incremental to transformative resilience, defining resilience as the capacity to live and develop with change and uncertainty rather than simply returning to a previous status quo.
