• R2R partners are also working on increasing resilience of people and nature through making cities, regions and companies more resilient, and by mobilising finance and sharing knowledge on climate risk management across sectors
• The MPGCA Resilience Pathway has laid the groundwork for measuring resilience outcomes by detailing the risk management actions that can be taken to increase resilience
• Race to Resilience will record and track partner current plans and outcomes in future years, thus allowing identification of gaps to be filled by new and existing partners.
• The climate risk management actions urgently need to be scaled up across sectors and across the globe
