Accelerating action to build a resilient 1.5 degree world, MPGCA Resilience Roundtable at UNFCCC COP25

During the Roundtable, focused interventions from 21 speakers grounded the discussion amid different context and scales, and all stressed the need to bring action on resilience and adaptation on par with current investment in mitigation. Over 100 participants shared 238 insights on successful climate actions to accelerate transformational changes and to address barriers to implementing much needed changes.

The climate actions shared around the table complemented the recently launched MPGCA Resilience and Adaptation Pathway, which provides a new opportunity for non-state actors to coalesce around a common vision for a resilient future where vulnerable regions, states, communities and individuals can face multiple risks, uncertainty and change in a 1.5C or 2C world.
