MAPPING OF GLOBAL AND REGIONAL RESILIENCE INITIATIVES
Summary
The 'Mapping of Global and Regional Resilience Initiatives' is a report published by the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) in March 2020. It provides a comprehensive directory of funds, financing facilities, networks, alliances, partnerships, organisations, programmes, and projects that focus on or incorporate elements of climate and disaster resilience.
Key insights
- The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) is a coalition of more than 50 public and private entities dedicated to creating a sustainable and prosperous future for vulnerable locations and people, with its Secretariat based at the Stockholm Resilience Centre.
- The report identifies numerous specialized financing mechanisms for climate resilience, including the Adaptation Fund, established under the Kyoto Protocol, and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which aims to catalyze climate finance for low-emission and climate-resilient development in developing countries.
- Several initiatives target specific regional vulnerabilities, such as the Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) for extreme weather events in Africa, the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) for hurricanes and earthquakes in the Caribbean, and the Global Alliance for Action on Drought Resilience and Growth for the Horn of Africa and the Sahel.
- The mapping highlights a significant focus on urban resilience, featuring initiatives like 100 Resilient Cities, the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN), and the Building Climate Resilience of the Urban Poor (BCRUP), the latter of which targets 150 million slum dwellers in 140 'hot-spot' cities by 2023.
- The document lists various knowledge-sharing and technical platforms, such as the Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE), the Global Adaptation Network (GAN), and the International Platform on Adaptation Metrics (IPAM), which addresses the lack of a single global universal metric for adaptation progress.
- The report details programs focusing on the intersection of food security and climate resilience, including the Adaptation of African Agriculture Initiative (AAAI), the Global Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture (GACSA), and the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative.
