SUMMARY:Climate adaptation and resilience vision: what will success look like?
DESCRIPTION:This event will reflect on the current status of adaptation ambition and discuss what ‘success’ will look like at COP26. \n\n\n\nDate: Thu\, 11 February 2021 \n\nTime: 16:30 – 18:00 (GMT+6)\nWhere: Online\, using Zoom\n  \n\nRegistration\n\nAbout this Event\nJoin this IIED and ICCCAD hosted online event on Thursday\, 11 February 2021 to hear expert perspectives on what climate adaptation and resilience success in 2021 looks like.\nThe impacts of climate change demand urgent action. There has been considerable attention on climate mitigation ambition in the lead up to COP26\, with some strong commitments coming through and more expected. But what about adaptation and resilience? As we move towards COP26\, what should our adaptation ambition look like and what more is needed in 2021 to drive a strong post-COP26 adaptation agenda? \nStrong adaptation commitments need to include a range of matters to have the best chance of success. This includes ensuring quantity and quality of financing and resourcing\, increasing transparency and accountability\, enabling locally-led actions by people and communities most affected by climate impacts\, and leveraging the power of nature to drive resilience for both local communities and the environment. The world is up against the clock to design and commit to strong and enduring adaptation commitments. How do we ensure we get there at COP26? \nFollowing on from the 1st Gobeshona Global Conference and the Climate Adaptation Summit\, this event will bring together speakers from government\, business and civil society to pitch what strong adaptation ambition at COP26 needs to look like\, what they are doing about it\, and how to judge what success looks like for us all. \nAbout the speakers\nSaleemul Huq (moderator) is the director of ICCCAD in Bangladesh\, and is an expert on the links between climate change and sustainable development\, particularly from the perspective of developing countries. \nSheela Patel is the founder and director of the Society for the Promotion of Area Resource Centres (SPARC) India\, which is based in Mumbai\, and works in partnership with the National Slum Dweller Federation and Mahila Milan. \nMike Barry is a change agent\, committed to helping business to prepare for and succeed in the great sustainability disruption that will wash through the economy in the 2020s.
