The Interim Reparative Measures (IRM) Project, funded by the Global Survivors Fund and jointly implemented by Nadia’s Initiative and Mission East, centres on providing access to both individual and collective interim reparative measures. These projects are co-created with survivors, who exercise full autonomy in shaping the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation processes.

The Woman’s Sustainable Farming project rebuilds farming households by empowering women to restart cultivating their land. Nadia’s Initiative has designed, developed, and implemented the project. The project’s broader effect is its revitalising nature to the Sinjar agricultural industry. The project’s broader effect is its revitalising nature to the Sinjar agricultural industry. This is done through the reclaiming of land, which allows farmers to build a foundation for the local economy to reverse some effects from the genocide committed against the Yazidis.

The Kachin Peace Program concentrates on conflict-impacted and hard-to-reach areas in the north of Burma/Myanmar. The program engages in research, design, and execution of peacebuilding actions. It employs systemic action research that first gathers data in the form of life stories from conflict-affected individuals. It then utilises systems mapping, whereby local participants analyse these narratives to identify appropriate peacebuilding, human rights, developmental, and humanitarian measures. These initiatives are then implemented using an action research approach, with intentional networking strategies to scale up and sustain impacts over time. Adapt Peacebuilding, a non-profit organisation, implements this project.

The Co-inspira program in Colombia focuses on public participation in building peace in conflict-affected territories. It unites local communities, government actors, and social leaders to work together to develop and implement peacebuilding initiatives tailored to the area’s needs. The program is focused on collaborative efforts for sustainable peacebuilding initiatives in Cauca.

The Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA) is an approach developed by CARE to assess community-level vulnerabilities and capacities to climate change. It draws on climate information from both scientific and traditional knowledge sources. Through collecting and analysing this data, CVCA catalyses the identification of necessary actions at the community level to enhance resilience in the face of climate change. 

The Sharm El-Sheikh Adaptation Agenda (SAA) offers near-term solutions for resilience, addressing global challenges, with transformative opportunities highlighted in this implementation report.

This paper aims to determine to what extent countries incorporated climate adaptation and resilience into their COVID-19 recovery measures during the first two years of the pandemic.

This report outlines the first year of the ‘Roof Over Our Heads’ (ROOH) campaign, launched at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. ROOH focuses on climate-resilient housing solutions for informal settlements in Global South cities. Emphasising community empowerment, incremental upgradation, and collaboration with stakeholders, the campaign aims to improve living conditions for most impacted populations worldwide.

This report synthesises the key findings and recommendations for action from the COP28 Resilience Hub and aims to help set the direction for future action towards COP29 and beyond. The report first provides an overview of the key adaptation and resilience decisions and announcements that took place during COP28; it then presents the key messages and findings from the events of the Resilience Hub and offers concluding remarks and a guidepost for the year ahead.

COP28 has called all parties to move away from fossil fuels, sending a critical message to policy makers and business leaders that the transition to renewable energy is inevitable. However, a stronger alignment between biodiversity and climate policies is needed to tackle climate change to avoid impacting biodiversity. The authors present seven key points to consider for climate change mitigation that aim to reduce trade-offs and maximize synergies between biodiversity and climate action.
