Context

Climate resilience is an often misunderstood concept but is an essential component of climate action. GRP wanted to amplify unresolved issues between COP26 and COP27.

Global Resilience Partnership brings together organisations such as AXA, BCG and KPMG who have joined forces to envisage an inclusive world in harmony with nature, that is better prepared to cope with shocks, adapt to change, and transform – all within planetary boundaries.

Our activity

Seahorse helped produce a series of blogs to raise the profile of issues at risk of being side-lined throughout the COP negotiations and amplify diverse voices in the run up to COP27. We worked with GRP to decide on authorship on the pieces and coordinated interviews with the authors to draw out their expertise on the chosen topics: adaptation and participation, climate finance and the COP presidency. Seahorse assisted with the drafting of the pieces and coordinated the pitching process, ensuring publications were chosen that best reflected and fitted the content and reached new audiences. 

The pieces were published in OECD Forum blogs, WTO Trade for Development News blog and Climate Home News. 

Our impact

Our work enabled GRP to give greater prominence to commonly underrepresented authors in debates about resilience and the impacts of climate change, Seahorse has also helped broaden the audience GRP’s research beyond academia, making resilience more accessible to a wider group of stakeholders, including the financial sector.
