Vulnerability, Resilience & Climate Finance. Socio-economic factors constituting resilience have long been highlighted by the longer-term climate change crisis. The current COVID-19 crisis is bringing them into sharp focus. Access to key resources (such as finance, knowledge, skills, , technology, energy and the digital economy) greatly enhances resilience.

The COVID-19 health pandemic has collided with the global climate change crisis, accelerating the urgency for building resilience and transformative risk-based responses in a manner that leaves no one behind. Our weekly newsletter will continue to share the insights from the resilience building efforts of our project beneficiaries, partners and clients.
