OUTCOME DOCUMENT Southeast Asia Regional Resilience Dialogue

The Southeast Asia Regional Resilience Dialogue outcome document outlines strategies to scale up climate adaptation and resilience in Southeast Asia, emphasizing the role of grassroots organizations, women's leadership, and the need for flexible, multi-level financing to support local actions.

• The dialogue recommends that High-Level Champions advocate for a 'whole of society approach' to climate risk, ensuring local actions gain visibility and that grassroots organizations have direct engagement with decision-makers to democratize decision-making and scale effective resilience practices.
• Concrete regional examples demonstrate that community-level risk assessments and flexible funding enable local groups to implement targeted solutions. Examples include food and waste banks in Indonesia's Gunungkidul Regency, tree planting to prevent landslides in Cambodia, and the use of indigenous knowledge by the Higaunon tribe in the Philippines to cope with shocks like COVID-19.
• Significant barriers to resilience include the fact that financial resources reaching the local level are often restricted to specific uses, leaving grassroots organizations without a voice in allocation. Additionally, there is a lack of recognition that sustainable solutions require addressing root causes of vulnerability, such as governance, transparency, and equity.
• To increase ambition, the document calls for a shift toward holistic resilience that leverages poverty reduction and social protection programs. It advocates for a combination of public and private financing targeted at all scales—from households to national governments—and a mix of project-based and policy-based financing to strengthen institutions.
