TCLP Working Session #5: Catalyzing Transformational Climate Finance for Adaptation and Resilience

In the fifth of the series, the Transformational Change Learning Partnership (TCLP) Working Session focused on “Catalyzing Transformational Climate Finance for Adaptation and Resilience.”

The session worked through a study that aims to deepen the understanding of adaptation, resilience and their financing efforts. The study also identifies emerging approaches and mechanisms that CIF could use to further the knowledge base on transformational adaptation and resilience. The draft paper identifies emerging approaches, mechanisms, and instruments to finance climate adaptation and resilience at the subnational, national, and regional levels. It also proposes a set of research partners and opportunities towards financing transformational adaptation, including through nature-based solutions and other fields within transformational climate finance.

Nacibe Chemor, lead author of the study, introduced the key emerging approaches, mechanisms, and instruments to finance climate adaptation and resilience. See a recording of here presentation below.

This virtual working session forms part of a new series of informal 60-minute workshops to collaborate on evidence, knowledge, and analysis that can drive transformational change in climate action and grow the TCLP’s community of practice. Follow the series here.

Introduction

09:05 AM - 09:15 AM

Theme Presentation by Nacibe Chemor

09:15 AM - 09:55 AM

Discussion: Working Through five questions
1.    Feedback on the scoping study: Are there sections that need further clarification or improvements to emphasize the transformational potential of financing mechanisms for resilience and adaptation?
2.    Sharing lessons: Can you highlight from your experience cases of mechanisms or approaches for financing resilience and adaptation that show transformational intent or impact?
3.    Strategies in practice: How can we collectively deepen the knowledge discussed in the scoping study? What are some next steps to explore innovative financing mechanisms for adaptation and resilience?
4.    Audiences and dissemination: Who would benefit from this scoping study and what communication channel, or platform would be most effective?
5.    Community of Practice: Which activities can foster ongoing collaboration on this topic within the TCLP and beyond?
