Recent reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have made clear that climate change impacts are already widespread and intensifying.
The scale and ambition of the climate challenge require new ways of thinking and working – across sectors and thematic silos.
Call for applications:
The Climate Resilience Academy for Least Developed Countries (CRAL) is an initiative by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP).
The academy brings together a transdisciplinary cohort of academics, practitioners, thought leaders, and policymakers to strengthen existing expert networks, expand collaboration, and co-produce solutions to South Asia’s climate emergency.
For its second cohort, CRAL 2, the Climate Resilience Academy for South Asia invites applications under the guiding theme of ”Loss and Damage”.
