A glimpse of the most notable moments of the two-day event.

Supporting resilience-building across Africa, Caribbean and the Pacific.

The Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) represents 79 Member States that are among the most vulnerable countries to the impact of natural hazards, which are expected to become more frequent and severe as the impact of climate change is increasingly felt. Yet, the capacity of ACP states to prepare for and respond to these hazards is already extremely strained. 

Each ACP region faces its own set of challenges. Climate-informed policies and investments are essential to how African countries must contend with a growing and urbanizing population’s vulnerability to natural hazards. Meanwhile, countries in the Caribbean are confronting increased financial exposure in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and years of unstable growth rates. And for Pacific states, rising sea levels threaten the very existence of low-lying atoll island nations.
