RESILIENCE HUB VIRTUAL SUMMIT

The 2024 Regional Resilience Hubs virtual summit focused on democratising climate governance and advancing locally-led adaptation (LLA) across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The event emphasised the need for flexible, decentralised climate finance to bypass bureaucratic delays and reach vulnerable communities directly. Key discussions highlighted the intersection of gender, care work, and human rights, arguing that reframing care as a communal responsibility and securing land rights for women are essential for holistic resilience. The summit showcased specific tools and initiatives, such as the County Climate Fund in Kenya and the CSMAP tool in Asian Mega-Deltas, to demonstrate how participatory mapping and subnational funding can drive effective climate-smart agriculture and infrastructure. Looking toward COP30, the report calls for a shift from tokenism to meaningful inclusion of marginalised groups and a transition from high-level speeches to concrete, actionable proposals for community-driven adaptation.

• There is a critical need for flexible and decentralised climate finance mechanisms to empower local communities and reduce bureaucratic delays in addressing loss and damage.
• Locally-led adaptation (LLA) is most effective when it utilizes participatory approaches, such as the CSMAP tool in Asian Mega-Deltas for climate-smart agriculture or the County Climate Fund in Kenya for subnational resource management.
• Gender equality and social inclusion in climate resilience require an intersectional approach that recognizes the burden of unpaid care work and the necessity of secure land rights for women.
• Effective climate resilience requires a rights-based approach that prioritizes sustainable livelihood alternatives over the eviction of vulnerable populations in disaster-prone areas.
• Co-creation and the use of 'knowledge brokers' are essential to bridge the gap between academic research and indigenous knowledge, ensuring that policies are demand-driven and inclusive.
• To move beyond tokenism, future climate action leading to COP30 must prioritize the meaningful inclusion of indigenous peoples, youth, and persons with disabilities in decision-making processes.
