In the face of escalating climate changes, which significantly heightens the threat of disasters affecting households and communities globally, devising effective solutions to address the challenges posed by events such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts should be of great importance to policymakers. Having recently finished this free course on Nature-based Solutions for Disaster and Climate Resilience provided by the SDG Academy, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comprehensive introduction to this crucial topic. 'Nature-based solutions' (NbS), amongst other measures, may play a vital role in fortifying the resilience of households and communities against the growing frequency of global disaster events. #NatureforResilience The Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR)

How can climate resilience resources be routed to the places that need it most? This new program could have a major impact on U.S. climate and disaster policy.

Finally, I completed the course Natural-based solutions for disaster and climate resilience in The Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR).

The Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance is evolving into the Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance. This strategic shift reflects the urgent need for adaptation efforts that address the escalating impact of climate change. Since 2018, the Alliance’s initiatives have positively impacted the lives of over 3 million climate-vulnerable people across more than 350 communities worldwide, from the Philippines to Zimbabwe to Mexico and points in between. The advocacy work of the Alliance also influenced an increase in resilience spending of more than 1.25 billion USD. Now, we are expanding our focus beyond floods to tackle additional climate hazards such as heatwaves, wildfires, and storms. This broadened scope reaffirms Z Zurich Foundation's unwavering commitment to creating a more resilient future for vulnerable communities around the globe. We are proud to work with extremely competent partners and people within the Alliance and wish everyone every success in the coming years.

Weston & Sampson is glad to co-present with the Neponset River Watershed Association at the public meeting tonight Tuesday June 11th, 6:30 pm, on the regional flood model and climate resilience work we’ve undertaken during FY24. We will be discussing the climate impacts affecting communities in the watershed, presenting how flood risks are likely to be exacerbated in the future and what types of potential solutions can be most effective to mitigate these flood risks. #floodresilience #climatechange #floodmodel #greeninfrastructure #regionalresilience https://lnkd.in/exH7upRd

📅 May 22, 2024, 11:00 AM (ET) | Watch CCFLA's Senior Program Manager, Priscilla Negreiros, and other sector experts discuss the situation in Rio Grande do Sul, the importance of climate adaptation, and the pivotal role of public-private partnerships in driving these efforts forward. Organized by the Atlantic Council, we are looking forward to the interesting yet critical conversation between the Governor of Rio Grande do Sul Eduardo Leite, Renata Koch Alvarenga, Guilherme W. Syrkis and Priscilla Negreiros. This has been one of the most devastating climate disasters in Brazil's history. It's crucial that we discuss and showcase this extensively to gather lessons learned and ensure such a catastrophe never happens again. https://lnkd.in/gk9EArzi
