In collaboration with the The Adaptation Research Alliance, Transitions Research hosted a TLS Knowledge Symposium in Rosario, Argentina in July 2024. The event brought together members of the ARA Latin America community to exchange knowledge and insights with an overall goal to strengthen on-ground adaptation efforts. Based on learnings from collective conversations, Transitions Research, as the lead of Tracking, Learning and Sharing (TLS) for Adaptation Research Alliance, compiled the insights from the ground on topics such as the funding landscape of LLA, resilience metrics, heat adaptation, and indigenous and local knowledge systems. 🔗 Find our detailed findings from the event here in both English and Spanish Versions: https://lnkd.in/dQ7ASc2P Shout out to the participants for contributing to the conversations and making them so rich and engaging!

Despite contributing the least to global emissions, they bear the brunt of climate change impacts, with inadequate housing intensifying vulnerabilities. 🌦️🏙️ Our report, "From Informality to Impact," co-authored with Global Resilience Partnership, addresses the urgent need for scalable urban resilience solutions in informal contexts that mitigate the impact of climate risks, protect livelihoods, and drive equitable growth. Learn how we can turn informality into opportunity and read our report here. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gx6qN958
