To foster content-driven communication and discussions centered around climate resilience, we encourage members to share their publications within this group. Kindly submit the details of your own or others' publications to the group assistant at klima.r...@gmail.com, who will consolidate and distribute them 2 or 3 times per month. In order to reduce email loads considering the group's extensive global membership of over 2300 participants, we kindly request you not to post publications individually.

The posting of publications lies on relevance and quality rather than quantity. Only selected publications meeting the following five criteria will be included in the postings:

1. The topic must directly relate to climate resilience.
2. The title must incorporate the term resilience, resiliency, or resilient.
3. It must be a scientific research publication in peer-reviewed journals, monograph, or edited book volume.
4. The publication must be published within the last 3 years and in English.
5. Information must include the full names of all authors, and a webpage link.

Funding/Grant/Award

Call for proposals for innovations across the Global South now open
The three thematic challenges are open to ODA-eligible countries in the Global South:
The Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) Rural Challenge identifies and scales innovative nature-positive solutions that deliver both ecological and livelihood benefits.
The Resilience Innovation in Informality through Scaling Entrepreneurship (RISE) Urban Challenge identifies and scales practical, locally led solutions that address the realities of living and working in informal urban environments.
The Technology for Evolving Challenges in Humanitarian Contexts (TECH)4Resilience Challenge identifies applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can enhance or optimise the delivery and provision of humanitarian preparedness and response programmes. We have earmarked funding for TECH4Nature solutions, with a particular interest in solutions from South East Asia.
The deadline for submissions is 22 May at 23:59 hrs GMT.
