At COP29, the Resilience Hub will be replacing themes with challenges. We will have six challenges across six days (11-16 November), focusing on one challenge each day (aligning with COP29 Presidency theme days where possible).
With each challenge, we aim to compile a series of key messages, proposed solutions and recommendations that can be turned into a ‘Call to Action on Resilience and Adaptation.’ We plan to present the call to action to the UNFCCC and the incoming COP30 Presidency to influence their plans for the next 12 months, ahead of COP30 in Brazil – 10 years since the Paris Agreement, the halfway point in the crucial climate decade.
The Six Challenges
Using a resilience lens, how can we better:
1. Anticipate and manage economic disruption and close finance gaps?
2. Address and overcome food and water insecurity?
3. Promote nature-positive action to help recover from and prevent further biodiversity loss and environmental degradation?
4. Build stronger, safer urban communities where everyone can thrive?
5. Prepare for extreme weather events and improve disaster recovery efforts?
6. Ensure the incorporation of culture and Indigenous and local knowledge at every level of decision making?
All sessions will take place in person at the COP29 Resilience Hub in the Blue Zone and will be live-streamed on the COP Resilience Hub website.
