Join us for an online, interactive webinar examining best practices to create and scale up just resilience in the face of a changing climate

Climate change puts hundreds of millions of people at risk. Life’s basics – such as water access, food security, and the ability to earn a living – are threatened in many parts of the world. Extreme climate events and disasters are becoming more frequent worldwide. And while climate change affects us all, it poses the greatest threats to populations and communities that are the least equipped to cope.   How can the world ensure that “just resilience” emerges at this time of escalating risk? What are the hallmarks of measures that can help the most vulnerable groups and ensure that their voices are heard? How can sharing and learning from adaptation successes and failures help support the change needed?  Please join <a href="http://www.weadapt.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">weADAPT</a> as we embark on a new era of knowledge sharing by hosting this timely session that will probe issues at the forefront of the adaptation agenda.
