JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

Initiatives led by non-state actors are invited to complete this form as an expression of interest to be a Race to Resilience Partner. Partners can undertake one or both of the following functions under R2R:

A. Take forward actions that directly contribute to the achievement of the R2R goal of making 4 billion people more resilient by 2030.

B. Advance a resilience transformation that will help achieve the R2R goal.

This form has five sections:

Section I asks for general information about the initiative. All to complete.

Section II seeks to obtain specific information about the initiative related to R2R. All to complete.

Section III includes questions on criteria any partner wanting to join must meet. All to complete.

Section IV is only to be completed by initiatives wanting to join as a R2R partner to directly help deliver the R2R goal. It includes questions on targets and on the ability of the initiative to measure progress by tracking and aggregating data from its members and translating these, using the R2R Metrics Framework, into counts of people or hectares of land with increased resilience.

Section V is only to be completed by initiatives wanting to join as a R2R partner to advance a resilience transformation to help deliver the R2R goal. These transformations can be products, services, the application of knowledge and the use of new tools, new ways of working, interventions or changes in the narrative to trigger a systemic change in action on resilience.

INTRODUCTION TO RACE TO RESILIENCE

R2R (https://racetozero.unfccc.int/race-to-resilience) is a global campaign - the sibling to Race to Zero (RtZ) - 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.

R2R is led by the High-Level Climate Champions for Climate Action – Nigel Topping and Gonzalo Muñoz – and was launched at the Climate Adaptation Summit on 25 January 2021 by Alok Sharma, COP26 President designate, after an opening statement from Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations.

Goals:
- By 2030, to catalyse action by non-state actors that builds the resilience of 4 billion people from groups and communities who are vulnerable to climate risks.
- By 2050, to live in a world where all communities thrive in the face of the multiple risks and uncertainty posed by climate change.

Non-state actor-led regional, national or global initiatives (alliances, networks, partnerships, associations, consortia, platforms etc.) are invited to register their interest to join the Race to Resilience by completing the form below.

All expressions of interest will be reviewed by the R2R Expert Review Group (ERG). The ERG provides technical advice on the campaign. This includes advising the High-Level Climate Champions about which partner initiatives should be included, or not, in the R2R Campaign for the Champions final decision. Below, you will find the eligibility criteria.

This is the current list of R2R Partners: https://racetozero.unfccc.int/first-round-of-initiatives-join-the-race-to-resilience/.

PLEASE NOTE THAT AN ALTERNATIVE TO SUBMITTING A NEW EOI IS TO JOIN ONE OF THESE R2R PARTNERS - SO PLEASE REVIEW THE LIST TO SEE IF THIS IS AN OPTION FOR YOU.

Eligibility criteria

The initiatives wishing to join the campaign must:
- Share the goals of the R2R
- Be led by non-state actors
- Be committed to delivering inclusive and equitable actions to people from vulnerable and marginalised groups and communities to climate risks.
- Not take actions which harm nature and ecosystems

Additionally, initiatives should be willing:
- To raise ambitions on targets
- To share knowledge and collaborate with other initiatives and partners to drive ambition
- To make new commitments and report on its targets at COP26 and beyond

This form addresses two different functions of R2R partners:

A. To take forward actions that directly contribute to the achievement of the R2R goal of making 4 billion people more resilient by 2030.

Joining the R2R as a Partner Initiative delivering directly on the R2R 4 BILLION GOAL, there is a commitment to track and aggregate data from members (holding them accountable to the initiative targets) and translate the targets into numbers of people or hectares of land with increased resilience (using the Metrics Framework we will provide). Also, the initiatives should impact or have a potential to impact at scale (over 100,000 people) and must:
- Be open to new members
- Have an active host that can collect and provide R2R with the data required for metrics purposes
- Have the willingness and capacity to report on progress against R2R commitments and targets
- Hold its members accountable/ track progress
(Projects or programmes led by an organisation ARE NOT eligible under this scheme -A-)

B. To advance a resilience transformation that will help achieve the R2R goal.

Joining the R2R as a Partner Initiative on RESILIENCE TRANSFORMATIONS, the initiative must be committed to helping achieve the R2R goal of reaching 4 billion people in the most vulnerable communities and demonstrate its potential to help deliver a resilience transformation across the three impact areas (urban, rural, and coastal). For doing this, the initiative:
- Should have (or plan to have) a theory of change (a method that explains how a given intervention, or set of interventions, are expected to lead to a specific development change)
- Should have the operational capacity to lead the transformation and scale the solution
- Must have a set of qualitative and/or quantitative targets and milestones
- Should be willing to present plans and progress on their Resilience Transformation at COP26 and beyond
(Projects or programmes led by an organisation ARE eligible to join on resilience transformations)
