Because the climate crisis will require mobilization of local efforts at an unprecedented scale, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) network is launching the Global Climate Resilience Platform, with the objective of catalyzing at least CHF 1 billion in investment and support for locally-led climate action that reaches the most vulnerable.

The IFRC aims to build coherence between the humanitarian, development and climate change agendas whilst promoting and implementing integrated risk management approaches at the national and local level to increase overall resilience.
