CALL TO ACTION
The year leading up to the publication of this second State of Play report has shown that the impacts of climate change are not slowing. Approximately 3.3 to 3.6 billion people live in contexts that are highly vulnerable to climate change, and we must ask ourselves the question: are we doing enough to ensure that they are safe from disasters?
This report outlines six recommendations for action that seek to build on the recommendations contained within the State of Play 2021. They encourage all stakeholders working on early action to consciously shift from:
-
“Increasing collaboration, coherence and understanding” in 2021 to operationalising, incentivising and institutionalising collaboration [Recommendations 2, 3 and 5]
-
“Developing clear policy recommendations” in 2021 to monitoring and tracking implementation to highlight where gaps persist [Recommendations 1, 2, 5]
-
“Increasing the amount of funding” in 2021 to actual spending and reporting finance data [Recommendations 4 and 5]
-
“Developing a robust evidence base for the full value chain” in 2021 to proactively linking MEL efforts to existing frameworks to make MEL more comprehensible and manageable [Recommendation 6]
-
“Supporting climate-vulnerable countries by strengthening coordination of the international community and reducing complexity” in 2021 to shifting power to / strengthening the role of regional bodies as intermediaries, both horizontally and vertically [Recommendation 1]
-
“Strengthening the linkages between the early-warning-early-action community and Locally Led Adaptation and people-centred approaches” in 2021 to fully committing to a whole-of-society approach along the full value chain [all Recommendations]
-
“Increasing the exchange of knowledge and good practices between countries” in 2021 to deepening the understanding of and expanding accessibility across the full value chain [Recommendations 3 and 5]
