Zurich Climate Resilience Alliance

Next up in our Action to Impact blog series, Mercy Corps’ Sanjit Shrestha explains how replication of a budget-tracking methodology developed by Mercy Corps is delivering climate resilience at scale in Nepal. Read more: zcralliance.org/blogs/action...

Next up in our Action to Impact blog series, @ifrc.org's Jen Stewart explains how a new national Early Warning Systems strategy and changes to Disaster Risk Management laws have marked a crucial turning point toward proactive disaster prevention in Fiji. More: zcralliance.org/blogs/action...

Next up in our Action to Impact blog series, @planglobal.bsky.social's Mario Serrano explains the role that Plan International had in bringing institutions together to deliver accessible Disaster Risk Management messaging to communities across El Salvador.

In the first blog of our Action to Impact series, ISET-International’s Toan Vu explains how the team has been working with people across different scales to leverage technology to increase community resilience to floods, and the impact this work has had.

Contexts and hazards vary - but in every case, information gathered directly from the community is the foundation for effective and sustainable climate solutions. The Climate Resilience Measurement for Communities tool does exactly this.

Who is currently paying for adaptation in countries like Bangladesh? With time running out on @cop30brazil.bsky.social, @concernworldwide.bsky.social's Afsari Begum takes a moment to remind us all on exactly why we need progress on adaptation finance for developing countries. #COP30

As week one of @cop30brazil.bsky.social draws to a close, Barbara Rosen Jacobson of Mercy Corps checks in to tell us how things have been progressing around all things adaptation finance. There have been promising developments - can week two deliver? As Barbara says: stay tuned...

At @cop30brazil.bsky.social, calls for a new adaptation finance commitment are increasing and pressure is building on developed countries to provide more public funding for adaptation. Meanwhile, some still look to the private sector to close the adaptation finance gap - but do the numbers add up?

Today's @cop30brazil.bsky.social update comes from @concernworldwide.bsky.social's Laura Bahlman. Progress remains slow, but it's been promising to see climate finance (and specifically adaptation finance) rear its head in various places! Let's see what happens next...

Day 3 @cop30brazil.bsky.social is drawing to a close, and Kristen Ostling (@planglobal.bsky.social / @plancanada.bsky.social) has been following the negotiations. Here's why this conference is so important for the next generation of children and youth, and why their perspective must not be ignored.

Tommy Chimpanzi of @concernworldwide.bsky.social has been busy in Belém, participating in Resilience Hub events and tracking what the Least Developed Countries group - currently chaired by his native Malawi - expects from @cop30brazil.bsky.social. Thanks for the update, Tommy!

As COP30 gets underway, Debbie Hillier, Head of the @zcralliance.bsky.social for Mercy Corps, shares what we'll be working on over the next two weeks in Belém!

Early Warning Systems that focus on single hazards often fail to capture the full range of risks communities face, leading to fragmented and inefficient response efforts. The @zcralliance.bsky.social is working with communities to close these gaps through the development of multi-hazard approaches.

Gender and social inequalities often result in unequal access to Early Warning Systems. In Senegal, @practicalaction.bsky.social uses its 'Missing Voices' approach to ensure marginalized perspectives are captured and integrated into all preparedness and response measures.

As climate adaptation needs increase, is this the solution to closing the finance gap?

Strong governance structures and well-coordinated institutional frameworks can significantly enhance the effectiveness of #EarlyWarningSystems. ISET International is partnering with local governments and provincial agencies in Vietnam to make such systems more cohesive, inclusive and sustainable.​

When it comes to addressing climate hazards, top-down approaches miss crucial opportunities to best meet the needs of those at risk. In Fiji, the @ifrc.org partners with communities to ensure their unique experiences and perspectives are considered during the development of Early Warning Systems.​

Adaptation remains a lifeline for those on the frontlines of the climate crisis and as the impacts of climate change increase, adaptation finance is more crucial than ever. 🎧 Listen to the full episode of the @climateproof.news podcast here: www.climateproof.news/p/debbie-hil...

As the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events continues to increase, compound events are becoming more prevalent. In this video, Carolina Pereira Marghidan from the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre explores the difference between compound risks and compound events.

Climate hazards are on the rise, but a people-centred approach to #EarlyWarningSystems holds the key to protecting communities and ensuring a safer future for all.

Adaptation is urgently needed but the key question is: how do we fund this, and who pays for this? Swenja Surminski from @granthamlse.bsky.social explains what needs to happen to protect the most vulnerable communities. #Adaptation #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateAction

Technology for #EarlyWarningSystems is getting better all the time. But we won't lose sight of what matters most.
