REGILIENCE OTS7 – Just Resilience: Rethinking climate to leave no one behind
Access the recording for RELIGIENCE’s seventh Open Training Session (OTS) to learn how climate adaptation measures can incorporate just resilience to ensure inclusive and fair planning. The session was part of a series of capacity-building events for regional actors working on climate adaptation.
Speakers’ slides
The theme of the seventh REGILIENCE Open Training Session (OTS) was Just Resilience, a concept of fair and inclusive climate adaptation. The session was part of a series of online events aimed at public authorities looking to improve climate adaptation plans. This session focused on how vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, people with chronic health conditions, women, and low-income communities, face higher exposure to climate events with fewer resources, making them more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Experts and local actors gave presentations on the topic, discussing tools to improve risk analysis and adaptation planning and case studies on initiatives that support just and inclusive climate adaptation for vulnerable populations.

Takeaways
- Adaptation strategies must go beyond technical aspects to address the social dimensions of climate risks.
- Avoiding maladaptation and empowering marginalised populations requires fairness during planning, implementation, and evaluation processes.
- While progress has been made in identifying risks in just resilience, more action is required for inclusive participation and recognition of all social groups in shaping climate responses.
- Distributive, procedural, and recognitional justice need to guide actions at every level of governance to ensure just reliability.
