Partners for Resilience

PfR's Newsletter is out! Ecosystems degradation is a driver of disaster risk. UN Environment & PfR worked together to increase communities' resilience & reduce disaster risks through ecosystem-based solutions. Find inspiring examples in this newsletter👉 bit.ly/3TuI1Re

Which climate vulnerable countries are getting left behind? Somalia Chad Afghanistan Madagascar Niger Myanmar Zimbabwe Sudan Haiti Cambodia Bangladesh Mauritania Mali Congo South Sudan DRC Mozambique Iraq Eritrea Pakistan This must change. We need to act now.

#UNWater2023Conference starts tomorrow and here are some highlights from the engagement of @ifrc network in the thread 👇👇🏽

So excited to launch Water at the Heart of Climate Action at #UN2023WaterConference today, a wonderful collaboration between @ifrc @WMO @UNDRR @RodeKruis @RCClimate to scale up water action through #EWEA and locally-led adaptation. Thank you @DutchMFA for your generous support.

🎊 Celebrating across time zones! With World Restoration Flagships, the UN awarded ambitious, promising, and inspirational examples of large-scale ecosystem restoration. This is the first global award of its kind & we could not be prouder. 🥳 👉 youtu.be/FBPk_6rpbBc

Congratulations @WetlandsInt @JaneMadgwick !

Inspiring and leading voices are coming together with world leaders to celebrate the world's most promising #GenerationRestoration initiatives. Tune in for a Virtual Gala on 13 December: bit.ly/3fNtmjj

We are concerned that progress is stalling at #COP27 Negotiations are missing the ambition needed to protect those hardest hit by climate change. IFRC calls on Parties to build on what was agreed in Glasgow & raise ambition & action on mitigation, adaptation & on loss & damage

Why is disaster law important? What is the role of National Societies as auxiliaries to public authorities in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction? Find out more here: 👇disasterlaw.ifrc.org/node/882

Water must be at the heart of climate solutions. To build climate resilient and equitable future, we need: 💦 Clean, reliable and accessible water resources 🌱 Healthy freshwater ecosystems Add your voice for collective water action at #COP27. #Water4Climate

Healthy wetlands are a powerful natural solution to help us mitigate and adapt to #climatechange. From carbon sequestration to protection from floods and droughts, #WeNeedWetlands! #COP27

There has been much investment in international policy frameworks - now it is a matter of making sure impact happens at the local level. Law & policy are a key foundational piece for making sure that action happens. #COP27

#NaturebasedSolutions are immediate, viable, and cost-effective tools for #ClimateAction and societal challenges 🌿 Join this free online course to learn more #NatureforResilience @UNEP @PEDRRnetwork @EU_Partnerships @SDG_Academy 👉Register now: bit.ly/3BnZHI6

Strong and coherent climate and disaster-related laws, procedures and plans are needed to prepare communities face the consequences of the climate crisis in the short-term and support them in becoming resilient in the long-term. #COP27

With global water insecurity projected to affect 52% of the global population by 2050, protecting and restoring wetlands is critical to achieving water security in a changing climate. #COP27

How is water impacted by the climate crisis? We’ll talk with @ThandieMwape and @RodeKruis to break down how this life essential is at risk. twitter.com/i/spaces/1vAxR…

@IFRCAsiaPacific @IFRCAfrica @ifrc @IFRC_Europe @IFRC_MENA @IFRC_es Legal frameworks should facilitate climate finance to local actors for risk reduction and climate adaptation action. #COP27
