Development and Climate Days

Development and Climate Days (D&C Days) 2021 will be held during the annual Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It is two days of networking and exchange, with honest and open discussions on cutting edge climate work with the goal of enhancing understanding of climate risk and creating accessible and actionable strategies for climate resilience.

D&C Days in 2021 will focus on five ‘evidenced themes’ that we have been building on since 2019. These themes will provide the backbone to the programme, with conference sessions strategically linked to one or more of the following. The themes are:

• Building resilient agriculture and food systems
• Early warning, early action to leave no one behind
• Financing a resilient future
• Establishing resilient cities and infrastructure, and
• Working with nature to build resilience.

This year’s event is hosted in partnership by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre (RCCC), International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR),  Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), and Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance.
