Today’s Key Announcements
New Race to Resilience Data Explorer: The
campaign launches a dashboard to track the progress of adaptation
implementation. This comes alongside an update to the metrics framework
launched in 2021. The framework is the cornerstone of the Race to Resilience
campaign, tracking progress across different project types and identifying
opportunities for adaptation solutions.
Race To Resilience partners have pledged to
increase resilience for 2.9 billion individuals, 264 regions and 559 cities
worldwide with resilience-building actions up to 2030. It currently has 36
partners, operating in 175 Countries with 2029 members.
Race to Resilience launches the Insurance
Adaptation Acceleration Campaign in an effort to mobilise 3,000 insurance
companies (equal to 50% of the market) by COP28. The new campaign is part of
the Race to Resilience and will accelerate implementation against one of the
Outcomes of the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda. The objective is to scale
the industry’s ability to advance meaningful climate risk reduction, and to
jointly pursue the innovative public-private partnerships that reflect a
shared mission of protecting vulnerable populations from the physical
ravages of climate change.
Race to Resilience partner, Global Mangrove
Alliance (GMA), in collaboration with the UN Climate Change High-level
Champions, has identified the need for a unified global approach towards
mangrove restoration and conservation. Together they are calling for
signatories to the “Mangrove Breakthrough” which supports the Sharm El
Sheikh Adaptation Agenda in recognition of the need to secure the future of
15 million hectares of mangroves globally by 2030.
New Race to Resilience members signatories:
signatories to the Cities Race to Resilience have more than doubled since
2021, commiting to clear, evidence-based climate actions for accelerating
adaptation and resilience.
Global biopharma company, GSK, joins the
Race to Resilience via the Water Resilience Coalition with a pledge to
support at least 15 million people in vulnerable communities to become more
resilient to the health impacts of climate change by 2030. GSK is the first
healthcare company to join the campaign designed by the UN Climate Change
High-Level Champions to drive global ambition to create a world where nature
and vulnerable communities don’t just survive climate shocks and stresses,
but thrive despite them.
Publication of the Regions Adapt on
progress. Regions Adapt is a partner initiative of the Race to Resilience,
which brings together leading states and regions on climate change
adaptation to foster collaboration as well as learning and capacity
building. The initiative includes 70 signatory members impacting over 300
million citizens.
The Clean Cooking Alliance and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) will today highlight the work they
and partners have done to support national governments in achieving their
climate goals through clean cooking and the next steps for this initiative.

2030 Adaptation Outcomes for Adaptation &
Resilience Finance, key part of the Sharm El Sheikh Adaptation Agenda
Recognising the systems-level
transformations required to respond to local climate contexts, needs and
risks, the Climate Champions team co-created technical reports that detail
the adaptation actions required to protect vulnerable communities to rising
climate hazards. Read the first report on Finance here.
Mobilizing finance to accelerate climate
action and advance the SDGs
A report compiled from key insights on what
it will take to convert financial assets into flows derived from a series of
Regional Finance forums was launched by the UN Climate Change High-Level
Champions. Overall, over 450 projects, programs, funds, and enterprises
requiring approximately USD 600 billion in financing were identified from
various sources in the run-up to, during and after the forums.
Harnessing the power of African SMEs to
deliver both nutrition and climate goals
Did you know, African small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) produce over half of calories and over 80% of
animal-source foods, fruits and vegetables, while processing or handling
about 65% of food in later stages of the value chain? In fact, they are the
key drivers of food supply, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable
people. To support this, Incofin introduced a financing fund that enables
SMEs to invest in their businesses and increase access to nutritious foods
through wider distribution and improved availability, as well as reduced
environmental impact through decreased food losses.
Paving the way for a decarbonized shipping
industry that leaves no one behind
A new report by the Maritime Just Transition
Task Force outlines three decarbonization scenarios to provide insights into
seafarer training and skills needed to support a decarbonized shipping
industry. Martha Selwyn, United Nations Global Compact, explains what is at
stake and what the shift requires.
