Raisina Dialogue 2024 | Angry Planet: Investing in the Age of Resilience and Adaptation | Climate change creates multiple axes of vulnerability. Communities that live on the land face uncertain livelihoods; populations across the emerging world are dealing with food insecurity; those that live by the sea and in mountains face landslides and droughts. Even as we set aside financial resources to mitigate future emissions, we must invest now to adapt and to render societies’ agricultural systems and their physical environment more resilient. The role of technology, of new platforms, and of innovative solutions—alongside the mobilisation of capital and multistakeholder cooperation—are crucial. This session will discuss disaster response, agricultural resilience, and how vulnerable countries can learn from each other by sharing experiences. It will explore ways to make supply chains crucial to food, fuel, and trade more sustainable. And it will delve into key questions on mobilising finance for disaster-resilient infrastructure and for adaptation to climate change—appetite for which seems to be lower in the investor community

How can we develop the human capabilities and competence that will support greater resilience and technological transformation?

What might be key enablers of a transformation of rural and vulnerable communities, their livelihoods and productivity?

What role does food security and community resilience play in social cohesion and broader geoeconomic stability?
