OUTCOME DOCUMENT Latin America Regional Resilience Dialogue: Building Urban and Rural Resilience to Mobilize Efforts in Latin America to Recover from the Pandemic

The document outlines key messages and strategies for enhancing resilience in Latin America, emphasizing the need for a regenerative economy, nature-based solutions, and the integration of urban and rural efforts. It identifies challenges such as the need for greater private sector engagement, the operationalization of the 'resilience' concept, and the impact of climate change on food insecurity. Proposed solutions include regenerative agriculture, impact-oriented investment funds, and the combination of traditional knowledge with modern science to support vulnerable populations.

• The dialogue recommends prioritizing a regenerative economy and scaling up flexible public and private sustainable financing for both urban and rural sectors, while implementing Nature Based Solutions to prevent social collapse.
• Latin American countries have borne a significant portion of climate-related economic burdens, with 53% of economic losses from climate change in the last two decades absorbed by the region and nearly 15 million people displaced by drought.
• Climate change is a primary driver of food insecurity in Latin America, contributing to nearly 50% of cases. To address this, the document suggests rerouting rural livelihoods, de-risking value chains, reducing emissions through diets, and realigning policies and finance.
• Building resilience requires a shift from reactive to proactive governance and the operationalization of resilience into practical terms, balancing 'soft resilience' (social cohesion) and 'hard resilience' (infrastructure).
• Effective rural resilience depends on supporting regenerative agriculture—which involves eliminating fertilizers and recovering ancestral knowledge—and utilizing impact-oriented investment funds and microfinance to reach farmers not linked to value chains.
