We recently spoke with Matt Spannagle, Palladium's Climate and Nature Director for Asia Pacific, on the current state and scale of the climate crisis and why he’s finding hope in the solutions being developed in the Indo-Pacific. Matt has devoted much of his career to combating climate change and monitoring and reporting on its impacts. Here's what he has to say: https://lnkd.in/esCuWnMm #ClimateChange | #ClimateCrisis | #IndoPacific | #APAC | #SouthEastAsia | #ImpactAtScale | #Emissions | Regeneration | #ReefCredits

The USAID Climate Adaptation Support Activity (CASA) is inviting Latin American universities to submit proposals to research the impact of climate change in Afro-descendant communities. The selected subcontractor will lead a co-creation process with community leaders to develop a comprehensive Climate Strategy and Action Plan. The Plan seeks to equip international, national, and local entities with the data and recommendations to shape effective climate policy and planning. Submit your proposals by November 18: https://hubs.la/Q02Vv54B0 #ClimateAction #LACRegion #LatinAmerica #Afro #climate #ClimateChange

"The battle against climate change will be fought in the cities. Cities can be the problem or cities can be the solution. But we need to know what's going on in the cities. What you measure, you treasure" - Andrew Steer, President & CEO, World Resources Institute This comprehensive course on #Cities_and_Climate_Change by UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) enlightens about the intricate dynamisms of Urban Climate Change Adaptation and mitigation through #Climate_Smart_Planning which incorporates the tenets of #Resource_Effciency and #Socioecological_resilience.

On #WorldEnvironmentDay it is important to remember those displaced by natural disasters and #climatechange. Our new report explores the climate change-#conflict-#displacement nexus in the #MENA, highlighting four key issues—natural resources, urban fragility, gendered impacts, and international financing. This report marks the end of our year-long collaboration with the United States Institute of Peace and includes work by Ariel Ahram, Walid Ali, Tegan Blaine, Devon Cone, Reva Dhingra, Elizabeth Ferris, Natasha Hall, Lawrence Huang, Merissa Khurma, Glada Lahn, Nicholas R. Micinski, Dina Najjar, Peter Schwartzstein, and Mona Yacoubian. Give it a read here: https://lnkd.in/emYPr4Ei

A powerful #earthquake, possibly the strongest in years, has devastated the island nation of #Vanuatu, sending tremors through homes, businesses and critical infrastructure. United Nations UN Convention to Combat Desertification SDG 13: #ClimateAction rely heavily on research to address global challenges like climate change. Together, these goals advocate for building global capacity in science and research as essential tools for creating a #sustainable future.

Climate change impacts are wide and deep. It is the greatest threat to a sustainable future. However, the climate challenges bring opportunities for prosperity, and security among others. Join us the Alumnus of Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice as we share our experiences. #NSSCJCohortIV #PACJA #KPCG #NOREBKPCG

Climate action is costly; the financial cost of inaction and extreme weather is higher. For nations to reach their net-zero goals, actions and investments must have a high return.? The Arctic must play a pivotal role in the ongoing global transition. Systems must change to justly and equitably address the needs of vulnerable groups in the Arctic. The changes should consider multiple values, such as livelihoods, culture, and the environment. How can we incentivize holistic changes? The session will focus on the economic, political, and environmental shifts required by the green transition and potential concrete steps. ??

?? Spot the difference! ?? On Monday 9th, the second "get to know" meeting occurred. Representatives of 13 Regions gave an overview of their territories, main hazards, roadmaps, and their expectations in joining the CLIMAAX project. ??? The insightful Q&A session that concluded the meeting highlighted how different places experience similar hazards.

"It is only by tackling the indirect, messy, systemic and often political issues which drive fragility... that we can support people to build their resilience to climate shocks." ?? In a new blog originally published on Devex, our policy expert Mauricio Vazquez makes the case for an urgent rethink on climate security narratives. The popular story that climate change is increasing the probability of conflict and insecurity is overlooking a far more complicated reality, and needs to be flipped on its head: "If we are serious about building climate resilience in conflict-affected countries, we would do better to look more closely at relationships in the opposite direction. In fact, it is conflict and fragility which drive vulnerability to climate change." #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateSecurity #ClimateRisks #ClimateResilience
