COP27 Africa Regional Resilience Hub

The Africa Regional Resilience Hub has opened registration for a virtual event from 19-22 Septemberaimed at illuminating African priorities and solutions to be shared at COP27. Led by CDKN and SouthSouthNorth, the Africa Resilience Hub is one of four regional hubs of the COP27 Resilience Hub, which serves as the home to the Race to Resilience campaign, representing over 1,500 non-state actors taking action on resilience around the world. The Regional Resilience Hubs aim to ensure the voices and perspectives of traditionally under-represented communities are heard and amplified to a global audience. They illuminate and communicate regional priorities, actions, solutions and challenges. The Africa Resilience Hub’s virtual event comprises 16 sessions on a diverse range of regional priority topics, including private sector solutions and community-led and bottom-up adaptation financing, climate-resilient farming and food systems, locally-led adaptation and extreme heat in African cities, cultural and heritage as a driver of climate resilience, the role of tech start-ups in building resilience amongst vulnerable households and businesses, and achieving food security through healthy and productive soils. The more attendees – and inputs from our African climate change community – we have, the more valuable our insights will be to feed into the Resilience Hub at COP27, and consequently, the greater our opportunity to make a difference in Africa’s road to resilience.
