Summary of Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) Engagement at UNFCCC COP24

The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) engaged in several high-level activities at COP24, including hosting sessions at the Development & Climate (D&C) Days, chairing a High Level Roundtable on Resilience under the Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action, and co-hosting an event on Nature-based solutions with the Global Environmental Facility. These efforts focused on the narrative of "Leaving no-one behind," specifically targeting the needs of the global South, Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and urban informal settlement dwellers. Key themes included the intersection of climate volatility with peace and stability, urban resilience, and the scaling of investments in resilience for the most vulnerable.

• GRP co-organized two sessions at the Development and Climate (D&C) Days (8-9 December 2018) aimed at incorporating perspectives from the global South and Least Developed Countries (LDCs). One session focused on how building resilience to climate volatility and environmental degradation can "promote peace and stability and help reduce the risk of slipping into a cascade of instability and conflict," while the other explored urban resilience and the vulnerabilities of "informal settlement dwellers."
• Under the Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action, GRP chaired the Resilience Group and organized a High Level Roundtable on Resilience. This event was the only one within the Marrakesh Partnership for Global Climate Action with a "direct focus on resilience (and investment into resilience)" and included participation from the UNFCCC Executive Secretary, High Level Political Climate Champions from Fiji and Poland, and ministers from eight governments across four global regions.
• GRP and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) co-organized a side event titled "Taking Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to Scale for Resilience" on 12 December. The session emphasized the "critical role of nature-based solutions (NBS) for resilience" and the necessity for development partners to implement practical and joint actions to scale these solutions.
• The GRP's engagement at COP24 was designed to feed into three specific Action Agendas for 2019: Science & Knowledge, Policy & Influence, and Practice & Innovation, all centered on the narrative of "Leaving no-one behind."
