Scaling up and enabling investments in action-orientated research that addresses the pressing needs for adaptation of the most vulnerable is increasingly urgent. This is the mission of the Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA). In this event, the Alliance will bring together key influencers and thought-leaders who are walking-the-talk to address this challenge, aiming to compel others to follow
suit. Together, they will showcase the importance of bringing together the diverse actors – including donors, civil society and international organisations – who are part of ARA constituency, to shift the dial to accelerate evidence-based, southern- and locally-led action for climate resilience.
