A global campaign – the sibling to Race to Zero – catalysing a step-change in global ambition for climate resilience, putting people and nature first in pursuit of a resilient world where we don’t just survive climate shocks and stresses but thrive in spite of them.
We are racing towards a better world.
In the Race to Zero and now the Race to Resilience, businesses, cities, regions, investors and civil society are acting fast to transform the prospects of billions of people. Beyond the finish lines a safer, healthier, cleaner world awaits.
A world where we have worked together to both mitigate and adapt to the threats posed by climate change. A resilient world, with zero carbon and zero vulnerability, where nature – and therefore every one of us – thrives. We need to run these races together, at the same time – and win them both.
The civil rights activist James Baldwin once said: “not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until
it is faced”. Many lives are already being ruined by climate change. If we don’t act now, billions more lives will also be ruined, including
our own.
But if we choose to face this together, now, we can ensure that all our communities – especially the most vulnerable – don’t just survive climate shocks and stresses, but thrive in spite of them.
Together, we can do this.
Together, we will thrive.
“Unless we begin to seriously address the effects of land degradation in [the Sahel], we will only be scratching the surface of the deep challenges that the whole world faces from the environmental impacts of climate change and its related socio-economic consequences, including drought, famine, conflict over scarce resources and migration.”
20 initiatives are officially joining the Race to Resilience as partners, driving a step-change in global ambition and action on resilience.
