    How To Accelerate Climate Adaptation Finance

    Keisha and Marcus dive into the complex but fundamental question of adaptation finance and how to unlock the billions needed to adapt to escalating climate crisis. UNEP’s Executive Director Inger Andersen discusses the key findings from the latest Adaptation Gap Report, highlighting innovative financing solutions and demonstrating why investing in adaptation isn’t just necessary – it’s smart economics. The question isn’t whether we can afford to adapt, but whether we can afford not to.

    How Restoring Nature Can Heal The Climate

    Lis and Marcus pose what could be one of the most important questions of the 21st century – to what extent can restoring nature tackle the climate crisis? The award-winning restoration hero Constantino Aucca Chutas explains what drove him to plant ten million trees to protect his indigenous community from the impacts of melting glaciers. Plus, Mirey Atallah from UNEP tells us why a grand restoration project in Africa is generating hope for the future.  Find out more: UN Decade on Ecosystem RestorationThe Great Green Wall of AfricaGlobal Fund for Ecosystem-based AdaptationWhat Is Ecosystem-based Adaptation?Acción Andina

    The Race for Climate-proof Food

    Lis and Marcus consider one of the most critical issues in adaptation: how to build more climate-resilient food supplies. Eduardo Mansur, the FAO’s Director of the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment, talks about drought-resilient food production, biotechnology, and insect farming. And Louise Mabulo talks about how she founded the Cacao Project in the Philippines to help farmers carve out sustainable, shockproof livelihoods.    Find out more about:  - The UN's Global Adaptation Network: unep.org/gan- Climate adaptation resources and multimedia: bit.ly/2Y8SavL- The Cacao Project: louisemabulo.com/the-cacao-project - The Food and Agriculture Organization: fao.org References:- Half the world to face severe water stress by 2030 unless water use is "decoupled", says International Resource Panel: bit.ly/3uJSflZ- Climate-smart agriculture: bit.ly/3mokx1n - Climate-resilient farming practices: Typology and guiding material for climate risk screening: bit.ly/2WHX1Ui

    Crisis & the Green Recovery

    Lis and Marcus are joined by Koko Warner, from the UN Climate Change Secretariat, to discuss the parallels between tackling the Covid pandemic and building resilience to climate change. But also, what can we expect at the upcoming COP26 climate summit in Glasgow? Kobie Brand, the Africa regional director of the global cities network ICLEI, shares her lessons on the speed and power of collective action from living through ‘Day Zero’ - the time when Cape Town nearly ran out of water.   Find out more about:- The UN's Global Adaptation Network: unep.org/gan- Climate adaptation resources and multimedia: bit.ly/2Y8SavL- The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change: unfccc.int- The ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability: africa.iclei.orgReferences:- Call to Action for a Climate-resilient Recovery from Covid-19: bit.ly/3AdDAjR- Adaptation Gap Report 2020: bit.ly/3Bhby8o- National Adaptation Plans: bit.ly/3abjBaW
