Friday, 5th November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only exemplified the complexity and interconnectivity of risks but also exacerbated existing vulnerabilities. This has further underlined the need for greater attention to building capacities for coherent and coordinated approaches for adaptation and resilience building. Calls for transformative adaptation to climate change require attention to the type of capacity-building that can support it.

The Adaptation & Resilience Day will provide a space to showcase experience, good practices, tools and methodologies, and lessons learned with regard to building capacities to deliver climate action focused on climate adaptation and resilient development pathways.

Livestream
What? - Objective & Topics

Objective

The 3rd Capacity-building Hub’s Adaptation & Resilience Day at COP26 highlights the work across the globe by providing a platform to networks and organizations around sustained and evolving collaborations addressing issues of climate adaptation, particularly, with respect to the impacts on those in Frontline Communities and the capacity-building needed to support adaptation pathways and resilience.

Topics and Participating Innovators

The Adaptation & Resilience Day will provide examples of climate empowerment, adaptation, and resilience work from collaborations around the planet as described below:

  • United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment - Japan, on the outcomes of their Asia Pacific Adaptation Network (APAN) Forum. As a part of the Global Adaptation Network (GAN), APAN strives to foster adaptation through knowledge generation, management and sharing; capacity-building, and facilitating collaborations between actors across all sectors in the region.
  • CARE International will be sharing their work on a toolkit of resources that seeks to prioritize and mainstream gender responsiveness in the climate action landscape.
  • Organización Nacional de Mujeres Indígenas Andinas y Amazónicas del Perú (ONAMIAP); Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES); and International Center for Integrated Mountain Development - Himalayan University Consortium (ICIMOD-HUC) are collaborating together on a session where they will showcase their work with different local communities and indigenous knowledge - ways of being and doing that is Indigenous-led and resourced.
  • CLEAR Environmental and Digital Storytellers share their collaborative efforts across the globe in building capacities of and supporting diverse actors. Their capacity-building efforts enhance how actors can share their work in ways that can help in elucidating policy demands and aid in mobilizing resources for their efforts.
  • The United Cities and Local Governments of Africa (UCLG-Africa) will present their work on a capacity-building framework that places issues of gender justice at the center, through amplifying the work of female mayors in the African region and empowering all people.
  • Abt Associates are building capacity across five regional networks - Global Eco-village Network (GEN), to foster equitable and actionable community adaptation and at their session they will share the lessons learnt across their network.
  • Sustory - Sustainability Story, is a storytelling effort that seeks to foster innovative actions that are supported through and across micro-learning efforts that are woven together with indigenous knowledge. Their event Micro to Macro will explore how youth and their communities could access contextualized digital information while considering how to incorporate community-level know-how that lacks recognition on a global scale.
Why? - Significance

The work of people in adaptation and resilience efforts globally in widely varied local contexts is important to share in order to foster the spreading of emerging innovations, knowledges, and practices, particularly with respect to fostering climate justice and just participatory and decision-making efforts.

Emerging Themes

Several themes emerge across the various sessions of the Adaptation & Resilience Day that seek to support the work of diverse actors and stakeholders engaging with the 3rd Capacity-building Hub weave together new knowledge and practices around capacity-building in relation to climate change adaptation and resilience efforts. Some of these emerging themes are listed below - 

  • Intersectional issues of equity are a pivotal to how participants could shift power dynamics and lift voices of those most marginalized.
  • Highlighting Indigenous knowledge is prevalent through different events on this day.
  • Networks of networks provide for the intersectional and transdisciplinary collaborations in ways that leverage resources across regions to foster timely adaptation and resilience efforts while building new resources as needed. All events will draw on cross national efforts to learn and share knowledge, practices, and lessons learnt.
  • Building action-oriented relationships between those generating knowledge and those amplifying voices by incorporating them into written policy statements for enacting change.
