The Resilience Hub will connect action and discourse on adaptation and resilience, led by non-state actors from businesses, investors, civil society, academia and cities. The Resilience Hub serves as a dynamic space to bring together a diverse range of voices and stakeholders, and is the home to the Race to Resilience campaign and in line with the 2030 Agenda. The Regional Hubs (RegHubs) play a crucial role in ensuring that regional priorities, solutions and actions on the ground, are amplified to a global audience. In particular, the RegHubs aim to engage lesser heard and underrepresented constituencies with a focus on grassroots- and community-level voices.

The South Asia Resilience Hub is presently organized by the International Centre for Climate Change and Development  ICCCAD , will continue to lead the R2R process for South Asia region. Information on our previous South Asia Regional Resilience hub.
